A lot depends on the OP's needs.
If it's a once in a blue moon computation, there's a lot to said for
keeping things simple: export the salesman name column to a flat text
file, and run it through 'uniq -c' (OK, 'nix-specific, but nevertheless
available for windows).
But the OP did actually specify "similar", not "identical", in which
case one is entering very murky waters, and a precise definition of
'similar' is needed.
