    SIMPLY USE COUNT IF FORMULA LIKE
    B1=COUNTIF(A1:A1000,A1)
    Try this and copy towards down change the ragne A1:A1000 as per your requirement

    If this is not solve your problem attach a sample file with desired result

    There are "hidden" characters at the end of country names so COUNTIF does work (for me anyway).

    Hi,

    No formulas are needed for this problem. Simply put a column header in Row 1 and do a simple Pivot Table. See the attached for your answer. Time to learn Pivot Tables?
