Hi,

I have a list that looks like

--A B C
2 a a 1
3 b b 2
4 c c 3
5 b
6 c
.
.
.
200

I need a formula that can be copied to the cells in column 'C' that counts the number of occurences of the values in the adjacent cell in column 'B', that returns 0 or no value at all, when the adjacent cell in column 'B' is blank or zero.

Thank you.
( I've tried =countif(value,array), It also counts blank cells :/ )

This one returns a 0 for blank adjacent cells
=IF(Cx="",0,IF(Cx>0,COUNTIF(named_range,Cx),""))

anyone has a formula that leaves Cx cell blank rather than returning 0? Thank you...

sorry... this one finally worked. simply changed the 0 return values to ""
=IF(Cx="","",IF(Cx>0,COUNTIF(named_range,Cx),""))
