So I have one column, a list of names
John
James
Aaron
Aaron
Sarah
John
Harry
Aaron
James
Harry
Carmen
Mike
Carmen
John
Mike
etc...
Goal: I want a new column that will display them in order from most frequent to least frequent.
This is what I tried: I tried with INDEX, MATCH and LARGE but I ran into a problem when lets say 2 names (Carmen and Mike') both appear on the list the same number of times, it will only display the name higher up on the list.
*The parameter here is: It must be done with formulas only and no macros. As many helper columns necessary are fine. *
Thank you & really appreciate the help reddit.
