I am trying to count how many times a name appears in a list. Is there a
formula?
 
Hi,

use: COUNTIF(List,Name)

=COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"Shane") counts the number of times shane appears in the
range.
 
And if Shane Devenshire is in the list, and you want it counted also, try:

=COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"Shane*")

And for Devenshire, Shane, try:

=COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"*Shane")
Or
=COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"*Shane*")
