How to Tally in Excel
A tally is just a count of how often each value appears. Excel handles tallies with `COUNTIF` for one value, `COUNTA` for non-blank totals, and pivot tables for grouped tallies.
Tally one specific value with COUNTIF
In any empty cell, type:
=COUNTIF(A2:A100, "Yes")
This counts how many times Yes appears in A2:A100. Replace the literal with a cell reference (=COUNTIF(A2:A100, C1)) to tally whatever value you put in C1.
Tally each unique value at once
- List the unique values you want to count in column C.
- In D2, enter
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$100, C2). - Drag the formula down—you''ll get a per-value tally next to each label.
Use a pivot table for fast group tallies
- Click anywhere in your data and choose Insert → PivotTable.
- Drag the column you want to tally into both Rows and Values.
- The Values field defaults to Count, giving you a tally for every unique entry.
Count non-blanks with COUNTA
=COUNTA(A2:A100) returns the number of non-empty cells, useful when you only need a total of responses.
