Count Unique Values In One Column If Other Column Matches?
Oct 18, 2011
How do I count unique values in Column A only if the values in Column B match?
A B
1 a
2 a
1 a
4 b
5 b
1 b
The formula would return "2" for "a", and "3" for b. Basically, there are names in column B, and I want to know how many unique things are in column A for each person. If there is a better way than a formula (pivot table?) that would be great - like a table that has each of the names (from Column B) and the number of unique items from Column A next to each unique name.
I need to count the number of unique names from a column of filtered text. On the attached example D5 is where I need the value, the current array I have does not work when the filter is applied by changing the product in drop box. I need to have a count of the unique account names from column A.
I'm running into an issue trying to calculate unique values in a Data column based on a few variables in other columns.
My current formula in Summary tab D4:D19 is {=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Data!$I$3:$I$66<$E$1,IF(Data!$A$3:$A$66=$H$1, IF(Data!$C$3:$C$66=A4,ROW(Data!$I$3:$I$66)))),ROW(Data!$I$3:$I$66)),1)) + SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Data!$I$3:$I$66<$E$1,IF(Data!$A$3:$A$66=$I$1, IF(Data!$C$3:$C$66=A4,ROW(Data!$I$3:$I$66)))),ROW(Data!$I$3:$I$66)),1))}
This is currently counting the number of times a date value (data column I) appears for that name (A4:A19) in the data when meeting all of the conditions. I need it to instead count the number of times a unique date appears for that name with the additional conditions met (which all appear to work fine).
The results in the pink highlighted cells (Summary column D) should be:
Names starting with A - 3 All others - 2
I've left some other columns in the data with X's so that I can easily convert this back to my working spreadsheet.
I have two columns with dates. Colum A has the date of the deadline of a document while column b has the day it was sent. Column X will display the difference if its a positive integer ( i.e. if the document has been sent after the deadline). Now i have another column Y which displays the month as an integer of when the document was actually received.
Now i need a counter which will count the number of instances a positive integer is registered in column X according to the month in column Y. I have been trying everything but cant figure a simple way to do it. Im doing this so i can be able to see how many documents are sent after the deadline per month.
I've got two columns, one with policy numbers, the other with error codes.
A policy could be in the list more than once, so I'm counting the number of unique policy numbers with the function
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A10:F10000,A10:A10000)>0,1))
I want to count the number of errors that are NOT code 00 or code 21. Because the error codes are saved as text, I'm counting the number of errors with
The problem is that since a policy number could be listed twice, when I count the errors, I might be counting the same policy as an error twice. This means that I could feasibly end up with more errors than I have unique policies, which doesn't work.
What I'd like to do is only count the number of errors that have unique policy numbers. That is, I only want to count an error the first time it is in the list, based off it's policy number. Is that possible?
I am able to quite easily count the number of specific values in a cell after the table has been filtered. However, the problem I have run into is that some times the data needs to be placed into the spreadsheet twice (or to be more specific the same subject is associated with several unique data points).
What I need: some way to count the instance of some give value in column D only once based on the presence of a duplicate (unique) identifier in column C. However, when I filter the entire database, it must count *only* the filtered cells and not the hidden cells as well.
Picture: Column C Column D 111111 M 111111 M 111111 M
[Code]....
Currently calculates: M=9, F=2
Right now it incorrectly states there are 9 "M" from column D when it really should be 5 since 3 are duplicate values. My main difficulty is making sure this continues to work after I filter the entire sheet (say column ZZ) and have a bunch of hidden cells.
Equation currently using to count only filtered values (in this case "males" and "females"): ="M = " & SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(D3:D13,ROW(D3:D13)-MIN(ROW(D3:D13)),,1))*(D3:D13="M"))
I need to sum values in a column, but only if the text in the same row of the adjacent column meets certain criteria. Below is a simplified version as an example:
A1 - Apple A2 - Banana A3 - Apple A4 - Banana
B1 - 3 B2 - 2 B3 - 1 B4 - 1
I need a formula that will add up the cells in column B that have "Apple" next to them in column A. Apple would total up to 4 and Banana would total up to 3.
how to count the unique occurrences in column A based on the value in column B. In the example below, I am trying to count the number of unique names in each state (Illinois=1, Colorado=2, New York=2). I would like the formula to count unique occurrences for the entire column A because I will be adding to the list.
..A.............B............C John......Illinois John.....Illinois John.....Colorado Alex.....Colorado Alex.....New York Steve...New York Steve...New York
I'm trying to sift through 10000+ rows of results, and I'd like to know if there's a count formula to determine how many times I have matches in one column (name) and mismatches in another column (ID #)
Profile ID |Name | License # 12345 |Debra Nelson |12345678 12345 |Debra Nelson |23456789
I want to count how many times theres a match in the 1st or 2nd column (profile ID, name - those two columns should match) and a mismatch in the 3rd column (License #). I'm not sure if this can be done with a formula, like a COUNTIF, or not.
I have data (coming straight out of another system, so whilst is seems messy, its the easiest way to have it in Excel).... where there are a number of rows (one for each employee) - then every column represents a date in the month (so there are about 30 columns)....the cells contain a number of hours worked by that employee for that day.
I have figured out how many hours they worked for each day of the week, but my client now wants to know:
for each employee - how many Mondays did they work?- how many Tuesdays? and so on
I am happy to figure out the day of the week for the first date in the month and then manual set up another column heading above the date that tells me what day it is - but I feel that Excel may actually be able to work out what day of the month it is - although the dates come across from the other system as text - April 26, 2006 etc...
So I would like a summary in my sheet that has column headings Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun and then for each row for each employee - I would like the number of days that employee worked for the month by these Days of the Week.
I have looked at Count if - but I need to be able to select the range of cells to count, and also the range of cells to evaluate for the criteria and I cant figure it out!
see the attached spreadsheet including the data. In Column AA I have created a formula that looks at Column B, and pulls each unique value from that column. add to this formula, or propose a new one, that pulls unique values into column AA if at least one of the rows has an "Actual Finalization Date" in column D that is in 2014?
I have values in COlumn A, probably about 50K rows, The total unique values on the column A is only about 27. I need to capture all those unique values and paste them in column B. I didn't want to do "Advance filtering" since the workbook has many macros's on it that the user simply click on. Im thingking of creating a loop and compare values already pasted in Column b but then that will take too much time to complete the loop. Is there any easier or yet more efficient way to accomplish this?.
I want to count the number of times partial text strings occur in a cell adjacent to another cell containing specific text.
A B FB Milton v Town PHOTO BS Fairfax v South BS North v Town BS Milton v South PHOTO FB North v Milton PHOTO FB Milton v South
I'm looking for the number of times "FB" and "Milton" occur in Column A when "PHOTO" also appears in Column B in the same row. From numerous searches I've tried figuring out VLOOKUP, DCOUNTA, etc.
I have two columns in excel, col A and col B.What I would want to achieve is following:
Col A Col B A 2 A 2 A 2 B 3 B 3 B 3 B 3 C 3 C 3 C 3
Now I want a total of values in column B pertaining to unique (or say 1st occurences) of values in Col A. So in this case the output should be 8 ,Achieved as follows(2 +3+3).
I have a worksheet with Coulmn A and B , wherein , Column A has a list of values that can be duplicated. Based on the values in Column A, I want to fill corresponding cells in Column B. see the attached.
I am looking for a better way to determine if a column of values contains a sequence of consecutive matches. For example, column A contains single words. To determine if three consecutive cells contain the word "neuron", I enter in cell B3 the formula:
=IF(AND(A3="neuron",A3=A2,A3=A1),1,"")
And copy down. I then test column B to see if there are any non-blank cells.
If we want to change the word or the number of consecutive occurrences, I have to re-edit all the formulas in column B. I want to eliminate the helper column. I would like to put the word in B1, the number of consecutive occurrences in B2 and have a formula in B3 that will return either True or False.
I can do this with a UDF, but the user has rejected this option.
I have a column on sheet with has some data. I want to know: How many unique data has my column. If I use auto filter I can count it in list. But how can I do it with macros? I don’t want to make a cycle because it will takes me a lot of time…..
I would like to modify the below macro so it only counts a word once even if it appears more than once in a row. The reason I want to do this is so I can get a snapshot of the data without certain terms being over-represented.
For example, in the attached example the word 'Microsoft' appears 5 times in row 4 but I only want this to be counted once. In the whole data set Microsoft appears 20 times but only in 7 of the 20 rows so I would like the count to be 7.
The example is set out as follows: In column B there is a description field which in practice will contain consumer complaints and inquiries. To keep the data anonymous the description is filled out with random words and all other columns are blank. The output of Andy Pope's unique word counting macro appears in I:J.
I have a long list of products in an Excel column. I want to count the number of unique items in the list (the cells contain strings, not values).
I know I can use the "Remove Duplicates" tool in the Data menu, and then use a Count function on the resulting list. I wondered if there was an Excel function or formula that would do it, similar to the Frequency function that does the same thing with a list of values.
As the title says, I need to count the number of unique records (names) in column A, where column L is = to something specific (X,Y,Z,W, whatever) for some statistics im trying to report.
Please see the attached spreadsheet. For role X statistics, I need a count of the unique names from col A, where col L = X. Based on my sample spreadsheet, the number should be 2. For Role Y, it should be 3.
There is the potential for spaces in the rows, and no one will be 'cross role'
I've got a few different methods to just count unique values with specific criteria in the same column, but I just can't make anything work for specific criteria in another column.
