Would sub-totals work for you?

Another thing, if you gave each family a unique ID you could count on
that.  (example: first 4 of last&first3 of first&last4 of phone&last3 of
zip)  I would be wellsgle8036723

Subject: [mso] Count unique occurances in an Excel list

I'm doing a list of sign-ups of young people again.  I'd like to
calculate how many families are sending their kids.  Some are sending
one kid, others are sending two or more.  I'm thinking that I can figure
this out if there is a formula that will count the number of unique
entries in the address cells or even the surname cells (but not so much
in a small town).  Is there a way to do this?  Am I clear?

Office XP with the Service Packs.

Thanks,

Kathie
