Counting Text WITHIN Cells
Mar 3, 2009
I have a long list of cells each one containing a list of attributes similar to the following:
MBLB
MB9A
MCDA
MCDB
MCDC
MCDG
MCD7
MCD8
MCD9
MCE+
MCE0
MCE9
MCVO
MCVS
MEW5
ME2V
MLRP
Bear in mind that the above is in 1 cell and in-between each attribute is an - Alt Enter
Now I want to know how many cells a certain attribute is contained in e.g. "MCE+". I can do this on a one by one basis using the "Contains" Filter. However I would like to have the FULL list of my attributes and know how many times each one is mentioned.

I have a column of names, some of which are manually formatted with the strikethrough font.
I need to know how to count the cells that contain text formatted in this way. This total will then be used within a longer formula to produce a net result.
I have found tips on counting coloured cells but none that seem to apply to this form of font format.

Say the Range is (D3:M3) there is data in D3,F3,J3,K3,L3, and M3. I want to count consecutive cells with data from M3 backwards to D3. In this scenario the sum would be 4.

I have 10 cells in a column. I have a drop down list in each that is the same in each. If all 10 cells have the same item selected from the drop down list, I want a separate cell to list Yes or No. I've tried a few variations with no luck.

Im trying to find out a way of counting the contents of, say: column C where that contains text as long as column B = a variable
Basically column C contains the words Sale and Lead and i need a function that reads column B for examples of a user defined variable (1-4) and counts sale or lead in column C if this condition is satisfied.
like a sumif but capable of adding text (two cases of in this example but not really vital as the only things in column C would be sale, lead or left blank)?

I am currently using a pivot table to display data. At the moment, as you can see from the spreadsheet I have something that shows land use, suites and costs. how to calculate a total cost - but only counting each suite once.
I would like to do similar thing for the bottles required, this is based on information from background! I am hoping get something just like the way costs are generate, by only counting each bottle once.

I picked up a great formula from this website to count unique values =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(K19:K205,K19:K205)>0,1)) and it works great. Thank you to whoever sent it (sorry, forgot who)
I am trying to find a formula to do the same for text.

I noticed that when I use countif to count cells with certain text value it works but up to some point when it returns way too much then (when there are generally more values matching I think). I don't know what is the cause ..formatting? some function limit ?

I want to count the number of consecutive text entries in the one column. Skip a certain entry eg: NA, then count the next string of the same entry. eg:
Apples
Apples
Apples
Apples
NA
NA
NA
Apples
Apples
Apples
NA
So the output that I am after will be counting the number of Apples in a row 4 & 3 but skipping NA.

This should be simple, but I am struggling with finding a way to use the search or find function to identify text characters. This is my situation, I have for example a cell that contains FW023 or D1234. I need to be able to count the number of characters that are text.
i would think I would be able to do it with the search or find function, but can't figure out how to get it to just count the number of text characters with in it.

I am working on a spreadsheet that contains multiple text conditions that I need to keep count of. I would like to try the countif but I don't know if this will work. Here's a summary of my spreadsheet
Column F in my spreadsheet contains 7 different regions (all text).
Column D contains an open or closed option that is not validated.
In my totals section of the spread sheet I need to count each region that meets the "closed" criteria.

I am trying to count the instances of a certain text in a range across 2 columns.
so lets say I have the word Dog in A1, A2, A3, A4 & B1, B2, B3, B4. I am look for the number beside each cell to say 1, 2, 3, 4 instead of summing the whole range.
I have tried the array formula of {=SUM(IF(C:D=C2,1,0))}. However this does just bring back the sum of the instances and I am clueles on how to get it to show the first instance, the second etc.

I have a spreadsheet which consists of Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.
In Sheet 1, Column I there is a list of country names which indicate who visited our website at a certain time. So for example England may be listed multiple times.
In Sheet 2 I have a table showing January through to December in a column and the different country names across the top in one row.
I want the Table in Sheet 2 to count how many times England (for example) occurs in Column I and to indicate that as a numeric value.

I have an Excel document that I want to count the number of rows that meet a text value in two columns.
Column B has a value of either "Open" or "Closed".
Column C has a value of either "High", "Med", or "Low".
I want to count the number of rows that are "Open" "High", "Open" "Med", and "Open" "Low".
I've been studying a number of different formulas, but I can't seem to get my head wrapped around this functionality.

having the formula exclude counting text in cells.
=IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT(--(INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(B$2,"mm-dd-yy")&"'!A4:A44")=Tracking!$A3)*(INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(B$2,"mm-dd-yy")&"'!D4:J44")>8)),"")
I would like it to only count numeric values over 8.0. Currently if I have text in a cell such as "PTO" it returns as a added value.

I want to count unique items in a list with an array formula, like the items is in 3 columns A,B,C are from row 2 to 101. Now i use an array to filter out some rows in the columns of B,C & then count unique items in Column A.
so,
column A has "30 diffrent names repeated from A2 to A101"
column B has numbers 0 to 100
column c has value either 0 or 1
now i use an formula TO filter out rows in column B & c
formula =count(IF((B2:B101>0)*(C2:C101<>1),1))) using ctrl+shift+enter
now what should i suffix or prefix to this formula to count unique values in column A.

I'm putting together a calendar that will have show when people are off on holiday, training, out of the office or ill. But as it will identify people by name I have changed to cell style to reflect just what activity they are doing. As such I want to be able to count over a year just who has done what.
Is there a piece of code that can count based on the text inside a cell and it's style e.g. "20% - Accent1"

I'm working on an excel file where I can see if customers pays too late.
I've got this for the moment:
Date order
Expiration date
Days over
Days too late
Paid?
15/06
15/07
0
-2
NO
[Code] ........
My question is about "Days too late". When Paid changes to "YES", the days too late stays the same number it was before. When it's "NO" it keeps counting.

I have a column that can have a single name or multiple names typed in each cell. I would like to use a vlookup table to match against the cells values. Exact matches are no problem when it is a single name, but I need a formula that matches up the name, but does not need to match the entire cell text (name1, name2, name3,...) and can count the number of cells that contained this text with in a range. In the example above, I have three names.
If those three names are listed in the vlookup table, I want to count each one so that I can sum up that company 1 appeared x number of times with in the column and is x % of all company names, company 2 appared x number of times and is x% of all companies, and so on. My formula to match exact text values looks like this: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(D4,$H$7:$J$48,3,0)),0,VLOOKUP(D4,$H$7:$J$48,3,0)) This works fine if the cell value is simply company 1, etc.

Greetings, I have a particular column containing data similar to:
X24A
X15B
G15A
X23S
I have sorted the data to have all the X marks together, and now I want to run a counter so i can select the data and delete. Following is a sample of the code that is NOT working:
'Delete X Piece Mark Rows
Range("L2").Select
counter = 0
ActiveCell.Select
Do While ActiveCell = "X" & "*" ' This is the line that crapping out
If ActiveCell = "X" & "*" Then counter = counter + 1
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Range("A2").Select
Range("A2", "L" & counter + 1).Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("A1").Select

I am working on a big project involving baseball statistics, evaluating individual seasons. After a great deal of entertaining data gathering, I have a spreadsheet of 1896 seasons that meet certain criteria--that is, seasons belong to an individual player. The player's names are in column A of my spreadsheet.
Individual names appear between 1 and 15 times. I would very much like to generate a quick table (or just a couple of columns) that lists every name in column A, and how many times it appears. My understanding is that the histogram function won't work with text. I'm running Excel 2013 on windows.

I have used the advanced filter option in excel 2010 to display all the unique occurences of a list of names (column B) and then used the count function =COUNTIF(A$2:A$21,B2) to count the occurences of each name (column C).
However, excel did not manage to take into account the last 3 entries in column A (mir-23). I assume this is because it is a mixture of text and numeric values. How can I include this information in the grouping and counting?
