    Formula to place a list of names under a specific category

    Does anyone know a formula that can list names under a specific category? If there is how can i get the duplicate names enter as one under that specific category?

    eg

    lIST
    stark:
    Supervisor
    SuperVisor
    John
    EDMA
    Correct List

    Stark:
    Supervisor=2
    John=1
    Edma=1

    Anyone?

    Try this one

    =IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($B$1:B1,$A$2:$A$6),,),)),"")

    A
    B
    2
    stark: stark:
    3
    Supervisor Supervisor
    4
    SuperVisor John
    5
    John EDMA
    6
    EDMA

    This is because you did not transpose formula correctly. This part COUNTIF($A$1:A1 should refer to the column in which formula is written. In your case it should be COUNTIF($J$1:J1
