Need some Excel Spreadsheet help

I figure I could dick around with this for a little bit and figure it out or just ask here for hopefully a quick response.
Column A has 35K values.
Of those 35K, 189 of them are different numbers. Lets say 1-189. (So the numbers 1-189 make up all 35K values)
How can I make it tell me how many of each value there is?
The tricky part is that I don't know all 189 values because they are 12 digit item numbers.
So essentially can I make it tell me how many of each value I have without me telling it what those values are?

Pivot table
Count on column A
Count on column A

I would do pivot. Insert on the ribbon, select all the numbers in column a as your data
Row value will be the number (1-189)
The data value will be count of values
Someone beat me to it. Do a subtotal with a count would be another way

as the others say, a pivot table is what you want. not sure you will be able to figure it out at this time of night, without any real help though.

/thread. First two responses are perfect. I frequently use google for compound excel functions I haven't used in awhile

thanks guys. Exactly what I needed

Pivot table is answer
If you can figure that out but the number 1 next to all numbers in column b and subtotal

To insert a pivot table
It will bring up this to select data set:
Select all of your data (click in a1, then hold ctrl+shift+down to highlight all cells)
OK
You can give column a a title or it will say data or something. Click in the right section on it and drag into bottom left and bottom right. It will make bottom right sum. Left click on it and select pivot table options, make it a count formula.
If moving to another sheet/workbook copy and paste values, not the table. You can use format painter to make it look nice

I recommend counting it manually.

Or... just dump it into a sql server and select distinct with count.
SELECT DISTINCT (column), COUNT (column) AS Total
FROM yourexcelfile
GROUP BY (column), COUNT (column)
Upload that shite to the cloud and hammer out a uSQL statement

Just joking. Nice tutorial. I hate excel.

Copy the column and paste then remove duplicates. This gets the 189 values.
Then use COUNTIF formula that references the 189 values and locks the array of 35K rows as the reference to count.
This is a very easy task TBH.

Yeesh.
Save it as a csv, use either cut or awk to pick out the column and pipe it through sort | uniq -c | sort -n
About 20 seconds of work, and you're done.
