Criteria start in E2 and down

In F2: =SUM(N(FREQUENCY(IF(County=E2,MATCH(Name,Name,)),M ATCH(Name,Name,))0))

ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter
copy down as far as needed

Try this array formula**.

B2:B11 = Name
C2:C11 = County

E2 = Fairfield
E3 = Franklin

Array entered** in F2 and copied down to F3:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(C$2:C$11=E2,MATCH(B$2:B$11,B$ 2:B$11,0)),ROW(B$2:B$11)-MIN(ROW(B$2:B$11))+1),1))

Assumes no empty cells in the Name range B2:B11.

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.
