Trying to count number of times that appear in list
Analyzing data across multiple sheets can be streamlined with the right approach. You're seeking to count occurrences of job titles from Sheet 1 within Sheet 2, matching them to corresponding names. This requires a formula that iterates through Sheet 1’s column, then counts matches in Sheet 2. Explore leveraging functions like `COUNTIF` combined with `VLOOKUP` or `INDEX/MATCH` for accurate results.

Vlookups and filtered tables
Navigating shared names in your municipality data is a common challenge. While Excel doesn’t directly support compound references within VLOOKUP, your instinct to filter is sound. Creating separate, filtered tables—village, town, city, county—is the most reliable approach to ensure accurate lookups. This strategy isolates data, preventing mismatched results.
