first off thanks to everyone who has helped me so far on here :)

ok, now i do not know the best way to word what i need to do but here goes:

i have a list that contains cities and names and blanks
blanks are there because i used if/then statements to take out some data that i do not need

i have to count the names under each city in the list (so count cells only with values) --

i am trying to find a way to start counting from CIty1 until it finds city2
i have a tab that has all the cities listed (should be the same order that the list i am counting from but i am hoping for an answer that the order doesnt have to exactly match)

i am sure there is a way where i can count from the cell below city1 to the cell above city2 using MATCH to know where to start but not sure the best way to do it

*note the list of cities/names is coming from a non-excel based data that i had to use some macro work to put into excel so i cannot really play with how that is formated. the reason i want to refrence to that other tab for list of cities to reference to is to keep it universal so if the cities i use change i can just change my refernce sheet. (i will be making this for 7 different lists of cities anywhere between 10 and 52 cities each so trying to prevent people from counting by hand like they are now).

example:

City1
name 1
name 2

name 3

name 4
name 5
City2

name 1
name 2

name3


City3

Name 1
Name 2

Name 3

Result needed (total names under city):
City1 -- 5
City2 -- 3
City3 -- 3

**also note for these results i figured the 5 would be the formula looking up the list of cities/names and the city on the results tab would be what it uses to lookup/reference with

A1:A22 houses the Cities and Names data.

E2, just enter and copy down:
Code: 
=COUNTIF(INDEX($A$1:$A$22,MATCH(D2,$A$1:$A$22,0)+1):
   INDEX($A$1:$A$22,IF(D3="",MATCH(REPT("z",255),$A$1:$A$22),
    MATCH(D3,$A$1:$A$22,0)-1)),"?*")

In the column next to your list of cities and names (If the list starts in A2, put this in B2:

Code: 
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,[city list range],0)),A2,B1)

Where [city list range] is wherever your list of cities is. This will make a running list of what city heading you're under.

Then, in the column next to that:

Code: 
=IF(OR(B2=A2,A2=""),0,B2)

This will name the city that the name comes under only the cell isn't the city or heading or it isn't empty.

Then just do a countif against this resulting column for each of the cities (probably easiest to do next to your list of cities).
