I have an Excel 2010 worksheet with two columns that contain about 500 cells each. The contents of the cells are names (such as "Bob Smith"). I need to get a count of all names that appear in both columns. I've tried this:
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$500, B$2:B$500)
no luck.
What I'm looking for is a simple number to appear in the cell that contains this formula.
Kinda new with Excel formulas... appreciate the help.
