I Am trying to get a Match Count on Rows,

I am using a Player card a which has 7 name on that
and I want to find a formula where if it find 2 name in 1 row it will make a number 1, if 3 name in 1 row list the number 2 next to the name and do this for all the rows.

I have used an example below, I got told I could use Dcount on this but have been unsuccessful, I also tried a Match but again no Luck

If anyone can let me know of a formula which could help

I think you can just use CountIf().
Just be careful that you spell the names exactly the same in the list and in the data you pull.

These would be three different names:

Thanks for that the problem is that I want it to only count when there more than 1 person listed in the film from the player card.

So say you get Leonardo DiCaprio being in a film with the actors thats in the player card the result next to him will only count when he's with another actor from the player card. If you get what I mean?

Thanks

Okay. I think I get it now. I'll have to chew on this - can't right now at work. I'll revisit this later today, unless someone else has jumped in with a suggestion already.

Thats great thanks for the help I've just got myself stuck with this, I did wonder to have a 1 at the end of the list of actor for a vlookup of some kind or use the film as a unique referance, but I wasn't sure how to go about it.

I would do this in Access, not Excel. I'm not sure I'll find an Excel solution for you.

Do you only care about movies with Leonardo DiCaprio in them? Why not count the number of actors from your player list in every film? Isn't that basically what you want - the total number of actors in each film that are on your player list?

This is also going to be vulnerable to misspellings if you are pulling in the movie data from many sources (or even if you are typing them in).
