Code That Counts Number Of Time String Occurs In Column?
Jul 5, 2014
I need a code that search through a column, counts the numer of times a string occurs and creates on another sheet the unique string and the number of times it occured.
e.g
I have this columns in a worksheet
s/n name company trainer
1 ball Dell Mk
2 doll Msed Kl
3 kol Dlink Mk
4 ball Msed Cl
5 Koll Dell Gl
I need the result to appear on another worksheet like this
I am attempting to create a formula that will count the number of times, lets say letter A, occurs in column E. However, the tricky part that I have been confused on is that I only want to count how many times A occurs between each hour of the day. I need to count number of times "A" occurs between each hour of the day for the entire month.
My Worksheet looks as such: Column A contains the dates for the month of November, Column B contains times that random instances occur, Column C is not important, Column E contains a Letter A-N that pertains to what occurred at a time in column B. SO, Column B and column E coordinate with each other.
Here is an example. Column A - Cell A1 - 11/01/2013 , A2 - 11/02/2013, A3 - 11/03/2013. Column B - Cell B1 - 12:01 AM , Cell B2 - 14:03 , Cell B3 - 15:23 Column C - Cell E1 - A , Cell E2 - A, Cell E3 - B
So I would like Column F to display that between 12:00 - 12:59 Am there was X number of times the letter A occurred throughout the entire month.
I have data in a column (G) consisting of zero and ones. I would like to count the number of clusters of the number 1 in the data. For example in the data below there are 8 ones. But instead, I need to calculate how many groups of 1s occur. So in the case below the group of 1s = 3.
In terms of what defines a group. Whenever there is a zero either before or after the occurance of a 1 constitues a group, i.e the groups are broken out by zeros.
I am using a count if to look at a column C in a worksheet a and return how many time the word 'on test' occurs. This is then returned to a table in another worksheet. I have 5 worksheets in total with the same columns, how can I do multiple countif - so that it will count all the 'on test' in column C for all 5 sheets.
I am trying to see if there is a way using count or another option, of using one formula to look in a column and then spit out how many of each item are there:
i.e: lets say it says a, b, c, d etc...
Can a formula go through and say you have 3 of a, 5 of b and so on
I understand the basic of count sum iserror etc, just not sure if excel can do what I am wanting or if i should use access.
and so on. In another sheet I also have numbers such
A B C D E 4 3 8 9 0
I want to be able to compare any numbers that occur in sheet 2 that are in the rows in sheet 1 and turn the cells a colour for example turn the cell green if the number occurs.
I have a mapping program that uploads data with the date and time but when it exports it the time is converted to just a number string, e.g. 15:12:37 becomes 151237000. Is there way to eliminate the last three zeros and insert a ":" between the second and third, and fourth and fifth characters?
I have a list of names for my wedding and am making place cards out of scrabble pieces and need to know how many times each individual letter appears in the 150names to know how many of each letter to buy
I have a very large spreadsheet and want to count the number of times a particular text string shows up in a column. I can't use autofilter due to the 1000 limit.
Here's an example, Column C contains: Dan Parker John Doe Dan Smith Jill Smith
So if I search on *Dan*, the function should return a count of 2.
I've used COUNTIF before to return values when the whole cell = a certain value but in my case the cell may have 200 characters and I want to count based on a fuzzy search. I would like to do this in a function and not a macro.
The formula below was posted recently as a way to extract a numeric substring from somewhere in larger string. When I first saw this formula, how it "came up with the goods" and so I spent some time looking at parts of it to see what they did.
Although I've made some progress, I still don't fully understand it. Heres the formula, and below Ive detailed how far I've got:
1. The formula is returning the first substring of contiguous numeric characters from the full string in Cell A1 2. 9.99e + 307 ensures that the search value won't be exceeded by the returned value. 3. The Mid function uses Min(Find( to get the character position of the first numeric in A1 (so MID then has its first 2 parameters). So far so good. 4. Now... I cant work out where MID parameter 3 (the substring length) comes from. I suspect its the row function, but can't see how as this isn't an array formula, and without CTRL+Shift+ Enter, I could only get Row to return 1 in my experiments (giving me only the first substring digit).
How does the formula return the correct number of numeric characters, (apparently) without counting them?
I need a VBA code that will insert a column next to A, search column A for a string of say 50 cities, and then enter the classification of that city into column B. example below.
Before A B 1 Boston Good 2 Atlanta Good 3 Georgia Bad 4 NewYork Bad
After A B C 1 Boston MA Good 2 Atlanta GA Good 3 Cleveland OH Bad 4 NewYork NY Bad
Though i wanted to rid the Na error from it when C is blank
I seen a few ways, And wanted to try the method of using Countif becouse it can be used withen the same cell without using extra cells like another method i seen "=IF(ISNA(A1),0,A1)"
what i know of countif This function counts the number of items which match criteria set by the user. =IF(COUNTIF($A1,"")),LOOKUP($C1,$A1:$A1,$B1:$B1),"")
so how the heck can the countif function be used to rid the NA of a lookup. i just cant see a relationship between counting a lookup.
In cell BI38 I have a function which counts the number of F's in the range AN38:AY38. I want the cell AM38 to turn blue if the value in BI38 >=3. Is there a simple way to do this?
I'm trying to create a work Rota and I'm having a bit of a problem with a certain section. In Worksheet 1 I have the following headings:
Cell A - Name Cell B - Monday Cell C - Tuesday Cell D - Wednesday etc
Under these headings is each member of staff and the hours they work, IE L (Late), E (Early), SD (Short Day) etc. In the final Column, it counts the number of hours that this person works (Early is 7.5). In Rows 46, there is a section here to work out how many people are working earlys, which is where I have the problem.
The hours are worked out by doing a lookup function on the cell that says E, L etc and goes to a CODES sheet and pulls the value of that letter. What I am wanting to do is lookup that Letter, which and look in the cell next to it and count how many people would be on an early etc.
It works great if I want to count number of unique text values overall. However, I want to count the occurrences of unique text values if they meet specific criteria. (Like a countifs function would if it could count unique text).
I have three companies in column A, In Column B I have a date of when an item was sent to them, in Column C I have the amount of days this item has been out with that company. Is there a formula that will count the number of days an item has been out with one of the companies per month, and find an average if more than 1 item has been sent per month. Two items have been sent to company A in Sep 09, one item has been there 10 days the other 20 days, the answer I would be looking for is 15.
I am trying to come up with a way of tracking our new hires and how many go to each solution, within a few orgs. I am given a list by HR and run a series of =countifs to break down the matrix. I have a fixed number of solutions, all to be counted within each of 4 orgs. Ultimately I want to have multiple columns within each of these orgs to represent our various start date cycles.
I am trying to figure out the easiest way to load each of 4 count column to the next empty column, within 4 columns in a new worksheet.
I can easily use VBA to update a column's next cell with a value from a static cell. As easy as this may be for most, I seem to be struggling!
For example, I would like cell B3 (then B4, B5, B6 etc) to update, according to a value (time frame in seconds) in cell C3, with a value from the cell D3.
In 1 cell i need a forumla to give me a starting number and take one away each time a code or codes are dislayed in a cell range. Something like this
A1 = 23 days or any number days i needed
Cell range B1:C52
every time a selected 1 or 2 letter code appears in the cell range i want A1 to subtract 1 day from the starting number, i would need it to subtract half a day if one code appears ie HD, the codes may be P, OT, HD
I have a long (~42,000) list of dates and times (some including zeros). I would like to name these ranges and use a formula to find the last entry in each column. I know the lists will never go over 45,000.
The data is in this format:
1/31/14 23:58:00 1/30/14
[Code]....
The data will not always be consecutive, so I imagine the criteria would be something like (if there were such a thing) "ISDATE" or something of the sort.
How would I write a formula to dynamically calculate the row number of the last date or time in the column? (In this case, it would be 6.)
What I'm trying to do is add a line where it counts the number of cells with either the word "NEW" in a certain row (Countif) or the number of cells with a value in a range(Counta). CountA is not working because if I run the macro twice it adds a second total line and messes both the count and total up. COUNTIF I just cant get to work because im a VBA SUPER NOOB and im just pieceing code together from this forum and the net.
Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234 Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234
In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones Column B : payroll number ie 123456 Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124 Column D : job title ie floor Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
I've got a big file with a large dataset. One of the sheets works as a screening for the data, so everytime I populate an ID number in say cell C3, the rest of the sheet updates as per the formulas I have in place. However, I need to write a code that takes ID numbers one by one from a sheet, populates them into my screening sheet, updates the sheet and saves it.
I need to create a string of all the Acc Number but I dun not wan any repeat of the same Acc number in the String . The number of Acc number to be put in the string may varies sometimes. It may varies from 3 to 1000 or more . Is there a way to write a general formula to create such string?
