Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Assuming data from B3 to B18.
Next formula coming from somewhere in a forum.
= SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B3:B18<>"",MATCH("~"&B3:B18,B3:B18&"",0)),ROW(B3:B18)-ROW(B3)+1),1))

If your codes are in A1:A16 and are sorted in order you could use,

=SUM((A1:A16<>A2:A17)*1)

entered using ctrl + shift + enter
