Here's a subset of 3 colunms of data:

Zip Code   Name       County       
42125      John         Franklin
42156      John         Fairfield
43123      Bill            Fairfield
45612      Jane         Fairfield
45126      Jane         Franklin
49856      Jane         Fairfield
45895      Chris        Fairfiled
46289      Chris        Fairfield
42194      Chris        Fairfield
42312      Chris        Franklin

I am looking for a formual to count the number of people assigned to each 
Territory.

The answer based on thes sample data above would be:

Fairfield  - 4
Franklin - 3

Thank you

Criteria start in E2 and down

In F2: =SUM(N(FREQUENCY(IF(County=E2,MATCH(Name,Name,)),MATCH(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.
