    Formula for looking up text and returning # of times it appears

    I need a formula (see attached) in column I that returns the number of times the text in "Sheet 2" is used.

    Enter in I7 and copy down
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,B7)

    or if you also want to include Date parameters
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =COUNTIFS(Sheet2!A:A,B7,Sheet2!C:C,">="&C$1,Sheet2!C:C,"<="&C$2)

    I have part 2 of the equation...

    I have workbook with two tabs. Every download has a different author. I need to know how many unique users downloaded the content. The formula could be anywhere.

    The destination sheet is Sheet1. The source data is Sheet1, column D.

    Due to the size or your data, for the unique users part you should use Pivot table.
    Please see attached.
