Hello,
I'm using this code:

Code:
VBA Code:
Sub GetMostFrequentName()
' hiker95, 01/23/2015, ME830512
Dim ws As Worksheet, wr As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range, c As Range, o As Variant, n As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Not Evaluate("ISREF(Results!A1)") Then Worksheets.Add().Name = "Results"
Set wr = Sheets("Results")
wr.UsedRange.Clear
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  .CompareMode = vbTextCompare
  For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    If Not ws.Name = "Results" Then
      Set rng = ws.Range("A3:A" & ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
      For Each c In rng
        If c <> "" Then
          If Not .Exists(Trim(c.Value)) Then
            .Add Trim(c.Value), 1
          Else
            .Item(Trim(c.Value)) = .Item(Trim(c.Value)) + 1
          End If
        End If
      Next c
    End If
  Next ws
  n = .Count
  o = Application.Transpose(Array(.Keys, .Items))
End With
With wr
  .Cells(1, 1).Resize(UBound(o, 1), UBound(o, 2)) = o
  .Range("A1:B" & n).Sort key1:=.Range("B1"), order1:=2, key2:=.Range("A1"), order1:=1
  .Range("A2:B" & n).ClearContents
  .Columns("A:B").AutoFit
  .Activate
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

from this question:

And finding that when I search for the string that was returned, to delete it (so I know I have finished with that person/name), I am getting very different results in terms of how many times that name is actually occurring / being found in the spreadsheet.

For example if I press F8, run the macro, and the name returned is Abraham Matthews, then I find/replace Abraham Matthews, the spreadsheet might replace e.g. 6 names. Then if I run it again, and it finds Melissa Purview, then I find/replace Melissa Purview, it might replace 11 incidences of that name. This makes me think that the macro is not finding the most occurring names in the workbook by frequency.

Can anyone assist? I have data in columns from A to Q in approximately 12 worksheets, with at least 200 rows.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Sorry, but I'm now totally lost. The code is looking at column A of every sheet in the workbook & outputting the values it finds in col A of the results sheets.
Is that not what it should be doing?
