I'm putting together a database in Excel and there is a particular item that I am having trouble with. I need to count the frequency of occurences in between events over a series of cells.
This:
ABBBAABBAB
Needs to be tracked like this:
ABABAB132211
Basically I need to write it so that when A occurs it counts how many times B occurs immediately after, until the next A. Once that is figured out I should be ok counting double A occurences.
how to count unique Occurneces in Excel?
For example: -
What formula can I use to count the Unique Occurences non - zero values in Column 2 for the letters in Column 1?
Column 1 Column 2
A 1
A 1
A 1
B 0
C 2
C 2
D -1
how many dates appear in a column. I have a spreadsheet wherein when a name is encoded in column A, the date is automatically logged in column B. Now, i need to count how many of those dates occurred in column B.
For the month of May - how many 1 May 2007, 2 May 2007...an so on.
After that - i need to match those dates to the name of the encoder and a another encoded status. It's like - 1 May 2007+john+approved = 1 occurence. I need to count them separately and combined.
I'm trying to formulate something that will count how many times say 5 comes up in a =randbetween(1,20) function. Of course if I do =(IF(A1=5,1,"") it will count it, but once the randbetween recalculates it will reset. Is there any way to do this so it keeps a cumulative count?

Up until now I’ve jerry rigged the spread sheet to do it with various filters, if, and countif formulas but I’m looking for something that will fit in one cell and lower the overall size of the file.
To make it even more complicated I’d like to feed the formula the date range information from another editable cell so that it can basically be queried for whatever dates my boss is concerned about at that second.
Need formula to count the number of times a particular character is found in a string I have been experimenting with the likes of
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been struggling for almost 2 days with this problem.
I have a list of data, one column of which is the date displayed in dd/mmm/yy format.
This date will always be entered by users and is variable.
I can't find a way of counting the number of occurences of each month and each day that the date represents.
So, I want to know how many occurences of March, June, May, Septemeber etc are on this list and Mondays, Tuesdays, etc.
I have tried several posssible routes, DCOUNT DCOUNTA COUNT COUNTIF SUM. I've also tried separating the date out into days & months using the MONTH & DAY functions but this didn't work either.
It also apepars (shock horror) that Excel has incorrect date & day values because entering todays date in one cell (11/05/2006) and then using the DAY function to find the day of the week for this date produces WED when it should be THU. (My system date is set as 1 Jan 1900).
I feel that Excel can't separate the months & days away from the date, since the date is stored as a numerical value and not as we humans use dates.
The dates will always be manually entered by users, probably as dd-mm and Excel will automatically add in the year.
How can I count the occurences of each month and days of the week?
i have a spreadsheet that contains a column for each day and i need to input the count from another tab for certain data...example as follows:
column A shows types of fruit - apples, bananas or oranges, row 1 contains the date (todays date, weekdays only) - the count of each fruit needs to be entered in rows 2 (apples), 3 (bananas) & 4 (oranges) for each fruit for each date
i copy and paste a daily report into a new tab in this workbook -Raw Data (the data is always in the same format and the info i need is in column J...."555" = apples, "666" = bananas & 777" = oranges)
i have used the below formula which works:
apples =COUNTIF('Raw Data'!$J$5:$J$65536,"555") etc
however the daily report that is pasted into the Raw Data tab only relates to the current day (date is present in this tab in A1)...how do i get each daily column to only display a count if the date in row 1 matches the date in Raw Data tab A1?
also how do i keep the previous days' data to keep what the count was for that day (instead of counting the current count of the new data only relevent for today)?
In sheet 10 there is a list of hunderd of names with information. The information is download several times a week and is not sorted in any way
Column A - Name of sales agent
Column B - Property Name
Tabs 1-9 represent all the different sales reps
Here is what I want to do (I realize I can sort the data and copy paste but it is pain):
Tab 1
Cell A1 - "John Smith"
Cells A2-A50 I want to list the names of the properties in column B of sheet 10.
Cell A2 would find the first occurence of "John Smith" in column A of Sheet 10 and put in the data from column B.
Cell A3 would find the second occurence of John Smith in column A of Sheet 10 and put in the data from column B
Cell A4-A50 would find occurences 3-50
I need to count data from column A to column C
whereas:
Column A - has data but there are data which occur more than once then it will be counted to column C
Reason is I need to delete the data with several occurence at column A so when I see the count at column C then I can be aware how many times the data at Column A occurs so I can delete it by filtering the data.
I have a list and the list contains the same string multiple times. I am trying to take that list and print it in column D and then list in column E the number of times that string appears in column A. S for example I would like the list to output
Col A | Col B| ....| Col D | Col E |
String1__________String1 3
String1__________String2 1
String1__________String3 2
String2
String3

I have a list with several stocks tickers and the respective quantities and prices on three columns: example below. I wanted a formula to list all different occurrences of each stock only once. Later on I would consolidate all trades.
stock / price / quant / expected list
A / 10 / 1000 / A
B / 20 / -2000 / B
C / 25 / 500 / C
D / 30 / 2000 / D
E / 15 / -2000 / E
B / 20.5 / 1500
A / 10.2 / 1200
D / 29 / -500
C / 25 / 800
E / 16 / 2000
A few days ago I used the function from a good member here:
=TEXT(B43/B$42;"0,00%")&" ("&RANK(B43;B$43:B$68)&")"
Can I use a function that counts how many times the rank value (1) for example appears in a row.Different row underneath will be OK.
I am using a code to validate that a person enters only an email address in a certain cell. I would like to confirm that the address has only two occurences of ".", and of course one occurence of "@". What would be the easiet method to do this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been given a spreadsheet to calculate. I think the data is very badly laid out but I cant change it. I have attached a sample from it. The original has 1000 people (accross row 1 in multiple sheets) and has approx 200 rows. I only have to calculate sheets individually.
I need to count all occurences in the row for;
Current Level = 1 and Training Requirement = 1 ( Cell B4)
Current Level = 1 and Training Requirement = 2 (Cell C4)
etc for all Currant Level 1-4 and Training Requirement 1-3.
I have been looking over how to use Sumproduct but I don@t see how to use it here.
I have and interesting delimma and I have been spending way too much time trying to figure this out.
I have a value in column B "Agreement". I have data in column C which could be just about anything. I need to be able to find "Agreement" copy the value immediately above it and paste it next to the value in column C.
You see this gets difficult for me, because there are many spaces in the spreadsheet and there may or may not be a value in C.
Here is an Example: I need for the value above "Agreement" to bel placed in the same column where there is a value in C? Clear as mud. I need this for every occurence of "Agreement" in this column. There are many occurences of "Agreement"
how to write a search and replace macro, but instead of writing:
Cells.Replace "OldText", "NewText"
how to independently read this "search" text into a string (hopefully a string that can handle 'more' than 255 characters per cell, even in Excel 2000) then replacing that search text("OldText") with ("NewText") step-by-step?
("OldText" can appear multiple times in one cell)
I'd like to evaluate a series of columns where a value greater than 1 would return all matches in another worksheet. I can't seem to use LOOKUP or Pivot Tables effectively to do this.
For example
Task Week1 Week2 Week3
task1 5 8
task2 6 10
task3 5
I'd like to create a view that would show Week1 having one task (task1) that will take 5 (hours). Week2 should show task1 and task2, Week3 should show task2 and task3
I am trying to get this code to loop through a dynamic range on one sheet and copy all occurences of a name (John Doe) to be copied into another sheet in a single column, but a new row for each occurence of the name.
I believe the problem is in looping the findnext statement,
Sub find_actor()
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+A
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim random As Range
Dim connector As Range
Dim paste_connector As Range
Set random = Sheets("database").Range("C2")
I have tried to compose a formula that looks at the value in cell A1 and compares it against the number of occurrences in the range of column D. I can do this:
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a row containing:
Date entered

Date of Birth (DOB)
Occurrences of Name + DOB this Month

I can manage the occurrences this month but haven't a clue how to calculate the 3 and 6 months ones. I have attached a sheet.
I need to know what driver led a given lap of a given race (Col. G). Attached is my attempt. Something to consider is I need a formula that can be pasted down Column G as from track to track, from race to race the # of laps will not be the same. The number of drivers that led a given race will not be the same.
I have an array formula in cells of Column G for the # of laps in a given race (i.e. if a race was 100 laps it would go from G3-G100). I ran it down to 500 just to cover myself.
Column G: { =INDEX($E$3:$E$500, MATCH($F3,VALUE(LEFT($D$3:$D$500,FIND(" ",$D$3:$D$500)-1)),1))}
…it kinda works, but for some reason when it comes to lap 251 it gives me a #N/A error. It gives me the correct driver for lap 250 & 252 and all other laps but not lap 251. Also, a minor inconvenience is that I have to put a space after the first number & if at all possible I don’t want to have to do that.
I would love a macro where all I need to do is paste Column A, press a command button, & the macro does everything for me but that’s probably asking a lot. I know how to record a macro but don’t know anything about VB.
Column D & F have to be formatted as text. It has to be text format or when I cut Column B to Column D it changes some numbers to date (i.e. 1-2 becomes January 2nd).
Column B:
=RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","*",LEN(A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","")))))
Column C:
=LEFT(A3,(LEN(A3)-LEN((RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","*",LEN(A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3," ",""))))))))-1)[/size]
I have been using the following but hope there is something a little better to assure that all occurances of a particular command bar button is removed:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble doing a VLOOKUP, whereby I have a column of staff that are frequently detached from the workplace (See extract sample). One member of staff could be away 4 times in a year and I need to place the most relevant detached date (which would be 2 months ago and 4 months from today) into another table. This other table would then show all members of staff in alphabetical order with just one detached and return date. If the date falls out of the above parameters (6 month window), nothing would be displayed.
I have columns of data that can be filtered. My problem is that I'm unable to count the occurences of numbers once I apply a filter.
I know how to use Countif & Subtotal etc, but I don't know how to count occurences of numbers and see the results relating only to those visible numbers after applying the filter.
For example, say I have the following numbers in a column...
2, 0, 6, 1, 0, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 1, 0, 4
I then apply a custom filer selecting =4. My answer would be 2 (as there are TWO occurences of the number 4).
Cell in excel containing large amount of text. Contains the following text one or more times (including the speech marks): "Provide Dwd/Dwl Number: DWD*****"
What I need to do is extract all of the DWD values from this cell, load into an array and dump them into another cell. It's the extraction bit that I need to sort out. In my mind the way that the code should work is:
Find all instances of 'dwd'
For each instance of 'dwd'
check the next/proceding character.
if the character is a space, check the next one
if the character is not a number or space, break and go to the next instance of 'dwd'
if the character is a number add it and the next 5 characters to a temp variable (varTemp)
loop
take the value of varTemp, prepend it with 'dwd' and add it to the running list/array
Loop
Output the full list of DWDs
1st sheet is giving me partial results with a vlookup - only gives me the first match to my ref number.
2nd sheet is the source data and contains refs and one or more matches.
NB: This is just a sample of the data, however in my original excel file with 25000 records there can be one or even up to 10 matches.
What I'd like to achieve;
Sheet One; Column B should give all matches for the ref number found in Column A.
It should merge all these matches to fit one cell so that all matches are sorted one under each other with line breaks.
As there is 25000 records to treat I would rather not have to do anything manually!
Am I asking too much?
I've read on the forum that it's best not to merge but I don't know how to get around the fact that I need all the matches per ref no in one cell to reimport into my database.
Does anyone know how, to count the same text, but on occasions?
So basically, I mean, if the letter 'S' was in 10 cells, but on 3 different occasions (meaning the cells aren't one after the other), how do I count the fist 'S' of each occasion it appears?
I am having problems with a macro I wrote that basically fills things in two columns based on a set of values from other columns.
Lets say it looks like this (column B is based on column A):
A1 = Hi
A2 = Hello
A3 = Hi
A4 = Hello
A5 = Hi
A6 = Hello
A7 =
A8 = Hi
A9 = Hello
A10 = Bye
After the macro runs, column B should look like this:
B1 = 10%
B2 = 20%
B3 = 10%
B4 = 20%.............
