I have a list of colours:

red
blue
black
white

etc.

Is it possible to use a formular in excel to work out how many of each I have?

essentially my spreadsheet has a liust of peoploe showing on the stand, each row has a number plate and a colour, I want to sum up the colours.

look at ollies thread about excel, can use =countif(range, "colour"). But you would need an if statement for each colour.

However, you could use a macro (visual basic) to go through each cell, detect what the colours are and then count them....would be a lot of ballache though
