Count repetitions
I have a spreadsheet which displays a series of names (James, John, George, etc.), and I need to know how many times are they appearing (repetitions) on the colum.
How can I do a check on a colum and present on a separate cell information on how many times is each name repeated (appears), such as:
Example->
James:  3
John:   4
George: 2
etc.
thanks
