If this is not the right forum, my apologies....

I am trying to write a formula for the following scenario...

Column has 3 options: A B C

Would like formula to tabulate total for each option and then display that number on a different sheet.  

Any and all help would be appreciated

COUNTIF should work if I understand your question correctly

edit:

to expand a bit

Sheet 1 is where you want the results.
Sheet 2 Column A is where your list of A,B,C are.

Sheet 1 A1 (for letter A count) formula should be COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,"A")
Sheet 1 A2 (for letter B count) formula should be COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,"B")

etc

Or just use a simple pivot table

OP, if you have not yet discovered pivot tables you need to do this.

Everybody that uses Excel should understand how a pivot table works. It really is one of the more powerful built in tools.
