Counting Occurences

Jun 25, 2009

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.

Counting Date Occurences

Jun 22, 2007

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.

Counting The Number Of Occurences

Mar 3, 2010

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?

Counting Occurences Within Specific Date Range

Sep 14, 2009

I’m looking for a formula that will count the number of occurrences of “YES” in column A between a specific date range (column B) BUT only if the it's categorized as "LAB" (column C).

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.

Counting Occurences Of Months And Days Etc In A List

May 11, 2006

I 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?

Counting Occurences Of Values Relating To Date Range

Oct 18, 2009

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)?

Counting Unique ID's

Mar 26, 2009

I've got a list that's about 15,000 rows long. Column A has a date and column B has an alpha numeric ID. The list is sorted in order of oldest date at the top, most recent at the bottom. The range of dates is from 1/1/2007 through 3/23/2009. Both the same date and ID show up multiple time throughout the list.

I need to figure out how many unique ID's show up on the list in each given calendar month. I could manually break up the list into months, use an advanced filter and then run a count formula, but it seems like there must be an easier approach.

Counting Unique Text

Nov 19, 2007

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.

Counting Unique Occurrences

Mar 27, 2008

We've got a column of names. A single name might appear once or two hundred times. The column is over 25,000 lines long, so we don't want to have to count how many different users there are (besides the likelihood of doing it wrong!). Is there some way to make Excel count the number of unique entries in the list, ignoring multiple repetitions of the same name?

Counting Unique Ticket Ids

Nov 28, 2009

I have a data which contains the number of customers who have logged cases with us to find a solution. So the data looks like as shown below;

Case IDCategoryCountrySubject QuestionClosing Details2550EMEADenmarkHi Please help me with the follwing orders, ticket number is JN567786Contact the retail shop12550EMEABelgiumHi please note that the product KA12QT seems to be having hardware problems. the ticket number is JN567786.

Technical issue fixed, DCK JN56778612876APJAustraliaProblem with the music system, resolution required.
The ticket Id logged is JN782238
new CD provided to resolve1

What i need to do is find out the unique ticket ID (eg: JN782238) from all the description provided from column 'Subject Question' and 'Closing Details'. All the ticket numbers start from JN... , however it is very manual for to check every row has a ticket number. I have to do this for many sheets and the data contains atleast 20 to 25000 lines.

Inorder to find this unique ticket number i search through filter by giving the criteria as JN1 and keep doing untill i reach JN9. Once i filter through each of these criteria, i add a number "1" in the last column indicating that this row contains a ticket number.

After completing for all the rows, I add a pivot to check the final count of the the unique numbers, But again i need to remove the duplicates from these count, as there might be several descriptions with the same ticket Id (eg:JN789899). So i add field "Case ID" to the row area in pivot and count of these numbers in the 'Value area' (pivot). Then i look for case IDs with numbers more than 1. I f i find 2 or 3 for a particular case Id then i search this case id in the data and delete one of the count ('1') in the last column.

Counting Unique Values If Certain Value Is Present?

May 7, 2014

I have 2 columns with approximately 200K lines of data. There are only 84 and 823 unique values in each column respectively. On my report.

Column A is essentially a customer list, column B is a product list. I am trying to find out how many unique/individual products a customer orders. I have a separate column that has the customers in it (Column G), and in Column H, I want it to count the unique products ordered by customer.

I changed some of the data, but essentially what I attached is what I need.

Counting Unique Entries From 3 Workbooks

Sep 23, 2009

I need to count the number of unique names (column A) on 3 separate worksheets. Each worksheet represents a facility that people visit. It is possible that the same person will visit all three facilities. If this is the case I want to only count them once, even though they may have numerous entries on each.

I need to get the same result as if I was to copy and paste all of the names from three spreadsheets on to one (which isnt an option) and then count unique names. To do this on one sheet I have been using =sumproduct((A1:A100<>"")/countif(A1:a100,A1:A100))

I know I can find how many instances one specific value appears in the column through sumproduct and/or countif statements,

Formula For Counting Unique Values

Sep 18, 2013

I have the following macro (as part of a much bigger set of code that adds some formulas to to cells to return the total number of unique values. The problem is, this part of the macro takes over 10 minutes to run. Is there a quicker way of doing this or am I going to have to just wait it out each time.

The columns B and/or H is a formula. Column W is an string value.

FYI the last row it is counting to is between 4000 and 30000 lines in each of the formulas

Code:
Dim IRMatRow As Integer
Dim IRMisRow As Integer
Dim UKMatRow As Integer
Dim UKMisRow As Integer
IRMatRow = Worksheets("Matching Stats").Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row

[Code] .........

Counting Unique Values In A Column?

Jan 17, 2008

How can I count the number of unique values in a column?

I have a spreadsheet that lists transactions that occurred over a one-year period (2007). I need to determine the number of days our facility was operational. No transactions on a particular date (25-Dec-07, for example) and the facility would be considered to have been closed on that date.

On the days that the facility was open, multiple transactions would have occurred on those open days and those multiple tranactions are all reflected in the worksheet.

So I need to count each occurrence of '01-Jan-07', '02-Jan-07', and so on.

Counting Unique Differences Between Two Worksheets

Jun 18, 2008

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(Apr08WFA!$A$1:$A$4000,2)="zz"),--(TEXT(Apr08WFA!$F$1:$F$4000,"mmmyyyy")=TEXT(B6,"mmmyyyy")))+SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(Apr08WFA!$A$1:$A$4000,2)="zz"),--(TEXT(Apr08WFA!$F$1:$F$4000,"mmmyyyy")=TEXT(B7,"mmmyyyy")))

this counts the number of entries on sheet Apr08WFA when value in range F1 to F4000 is either apr2008 (cellB6) or mar2008 (cellB7).

this works in principle but does not catch all.

I want to amend the formula to catch new entries appearing on a sheet called May08WFA that were not on Apr08WFA but with the same condition of "zz".

So data on May08WFA will be compared against Apr08WFA and new entries counted.

I want to paste a list of customers into a sheet and then have a formula that counts the number of customers. So, even if a customer appears 10 times it would only count it once and and continues down the column and counts the next company name and so on.

Counting Unique Instances Of A Number

Feb 10, 2007

I found the following formula online while searching for how to count unique instances of a number in a list. The list may have blank cells or repeated numbers but this formula works. =SUMPRODUCT((A1:100<>"")/COUNTIF(A1:A100,A1:A100&""))

So my question is...can someone verbally explain just exactly what is going on? i.e. I don't understand the <>"" in the sumproduct argument or the &"" in the second argument of the countif.

Counting Unique Values With Multiple Conditions

May 7, 2014

I need counting unique values with a number of given conditions. I need this to be a formula so that I can just add data to my spread sheet and it will automatically calculate.

The formula I have is:
SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A:A=Z1,IF(B:B=Z2,IF(C:C>Z3,IF(D:D<=Z4,G:G)))),G:G),1))

The goal is to count all of the unique value in column G:G that meet certain criteria (have ending times greater than Z3 and beginning times less than Z4, etc.). Once I get the formula to work, I'll simply drag it down to have it calculate for similar lightly changing criteria (like different beginning and ending intervals). However, the formula doesn't seem to be working. It's only giving me zero values (I have "ctrl-shift-entered").

Counting Unique / Distinct Occurrences With Wildcard

Aug 5, 2014

I'm working with a set of text values. The sets of text can be either 2 or 3 chars long (in this example 2), and are separated with a pipe. The end char for each set of chars in fixed. In this case a Z.

I'm looking for a formula which counts the unique / distict number of sets of chars. I have been trying to use COUNTIF with a wildcard (?Z), but unfortunately I haven't been able to find the correct formula yet.

For example.

|AZ|AZ|AZ|BZ|AZ|AZ|BZ|AZ|BZ|AZ| -> 2 (AZ, BZ)
|AZ|AZ|AZ|BZ|CZ|AZ|CZ|AZ|BZ|AZ| -> 3 (AZ, BZ, CZ)
|CZ|BZ|AZ|BZ|CZ|AZ|EZ|AZ|FZ|AZ| -> 5 (AZ, BZ, CZ, EZ, FZ)
|BZ|BZ|AZ|BZ|CZ|AZ|EZ|AZ|GZ|AZ| -> 5 (AZ, BZ, CZ, EZ, GZ)
