Hello respected experts,

I am counting the number of times the same director has served on a board, irrespective of id and year. I need just counting the same name if it appears in a column from a specific fixed start time, like from 2007.

I use this formula in excel =COUNTIF($C$2:C3,C3) to it. But due to thousands and thousands of observation excel is unable to do it or its very slow.
id year name count
