I'm not sure what you are asking:
maybe it's the (Data>Filter...Autofilter?)

Does this help?

If I understand you correctly, you want to know the number of times Sundar occurs in the 1000 row, Muthu occurs and so on. Let's say your rows are in column A
Enter Sundar in Cell D1 and in another cell enter

Code:
 =COUNTIF(A1:A1000;D1)


Repeat for the other names.
There may be an easier way but I believe this will work
