my problem is that i have got a data sheet which has a list of names in it. Some of these names refer to shift a,some to shift b,some to shift c, and some to shift d. I want to be to find out what shifts are present in the list and how many times they turn up.
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Apply Advanced Filter to the column with shift values in order to get a unique list.

If shifts are in B and the unique list of shifts are in F from F2 on,

in G2 enter: =COUNTIF(B:B,F2)

Copy down this as far as needed.
