I'm trying to create a chart that counts the number of entries in a particular column.  eg a column which lists employee names.  How do i produce a chart which tells me how many rows that name appears in?

Thanks in advance for any tips

    You would need to create a table somewhere that has all of the names listed.

     

    NAME                COUNT

    John Doe                 f

    Jane Smith              f

    Eric Clapton            f

    Donald Duck           f

    Betty White             f

    .

    Where you see "f", you would use a formula similar to this...

     

    =COUNTIFS([Original Name Column]:[Original Name Column], Name@row)

    .

    This will give you the count for each name. You would then build your chart off of this table.
