hello,
I am still new to this forum and hope im asking in the right place.

I have a table with duplicate in column B, and values In column a.
I want to calculate how many duplicates I have in column b If column a = 1 or 2 (two options)

example is above.
so if told my formula that a could be flour or meat, the result would be 1 duplicate (1g)

therefore I need a formula like below, but I cant get anything to work:
if column a = "flour" or "meat" , count of duplicates = 1
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
In case there is several duplicate values, how do you want to display results ??
