Look Up and Compare Data In A Column

Which function do you use to look up a range of entries and determine whether the same text / number appears in that range and identify how many times it appears?

RE: Look Up and Compare Data In A Column

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your question. You would be requiring the COUNTIF Function with the following arguements: =COUNTIF(Range,Criteria)

eg Range A2:A10 contains repeating values for regions in a transaction list, you want to know how many purchases in North region.

=COUNTIF(A2:A10,"North")

Hope this helps

Regards
