How To Count And Report Instances Of Text In Block Of Cells
Feb 17, 2014
I have a workbook consisting of two sheets: a Monthly Class Schedule (Divided into five one-week blocks. Each block's vertical is Mon to Fri, the horizontal is 9 class slots. There are 45 class slots pw). Each class has one student and the cells are filled 'Student Number, First Initial, Surname' eg, '666 J Smith'. Students may be scheduled for several class slots per week and some class slots have no students scheduled. When the student attends a 'P'is added at the beginning of the cell eg,'P 666 J Smith'.
The Student Attendance Report has the students listed vertically on the left, arranged by Student Number, and then a column for each week.
At the moment I have to manually count the classes each student has attended for each week and enter the attendance figures in the appropriate week column. It's a PitA so I want to automate the process by using the S#s in the Attendance Sheet to search the week blocks in the Schedule Sheet for 'P S#' and auto-fill the week columns in the Attendance Sheet.

I'm using WinXP with Excel 2003 - I have a column of highway sign description data (16k+ rows).
Example:
Curve Arrow Right
Curve Arrow Left
Turn Arrow
Reversing Curve Arrow Right
Winding Road Arrow(plus many more unique entries)
I'm using SUM and COUNTIF to total the number of times "Curve", "Reversing", "Turn" and "Winding" appear in the column.
My formula is:
Code: =SUM(COUNTIF($F11:$F16196,{"*CURVE*","*REVERSING*","*TURN*","*WINDING*"}))
Which works great EXCEPT what I really want is the number of cells with any of those key words, not the total count of those words. The example above should be 5, but since row four contains more that 1 of the key words I'm getting 6.

This might be really simple but i don't get it. I have a column with country names (strings). There would be 5 instances of "USA", 10 of "UK", etc, etc.
I made a column next to it, where i want to count the number occurances ....

Basically, I have a table with rows as person, and variables as features. If a person meets a feature, the that cell writes 'X', now, I hope to create a master variable that capture all the features, basically counting how many features a person has met. For example, Joe has three features; "have balls," "cool guy", "good with ladies". In the cell in question would be "X" "" "X". And if I count, then it should be 2.

I need a formula which I am using to count instance of sickness. I include a sample copy of my data which I hope will make my request clearer! I'm currently using the below formula to count the number of continuous instances of any code starting with "SICK" =(SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(C$10:C$37,4)="SICK")*(LEFT(C$10:C$37,4)<>(LEFT(C$10:C$37,4)))))
I would also like this formula to count any code starting with LTS as well (Long Term Sick). Due to the nature of sickness there may be continuous periods where both SICK and LTS codes are used, at the moment I can not come up with a formula to return the value I need. These columns may contain other codes but for simplicities sake I have only shown the relavent ones.

I have four columns with data. I need to Correlate columns 1 and 4. eg. Column 1 = All instances of Column 4. I must do this by matching the values of Column 2 to Column 3. There will/can be multiple instances of the same values in all columns.

I am in the exploratory stages of determining whether I can create a report in Excel 2007 to add the instances of a particular entry in a column. It is tricky, because I want to survey only the first 4 entry rows of a group of 8 entries and then return the result as only one instance of the entry over each of a set number of these sets of data rows, in each case 4 sets. This process would repeat down the spreadsheet, and the number of occurrences of each particular entry summed and reported in a separate tab of the same spreadsheet.
The rows in this spreadsheet are 17-1240. The entry names are a combination of two columns, J and K. These must match identically for the counter to count an additional entry.
I would prefer to make the report in a different tab in the same spreadsheet...just available for reference.

I have a column of numbers of approx 3000 rows and the number is either a 0 or 1 and they are in a random order in each row. I would like to count the number of 0 in the column. If there is consecutive 0 (a block of 0), I would still need to count it as a single occurrence.
For example, the count (or sum) for the number of occurrences for the number 0 in the below would be 4.

In a cell i need this info when
column a = month
column o = staff member
column m = discount given
if no discount is given column m will show 100%
i need the total of all sales made with a discount i.e not 100% and not blank, in a certain month, by a certain member of staff
step 2: i need the average of all these for each member of staff shown in a different cell
i already have the total sales counted per staff member so this will show me who is doing deals and who is doing the biggest deals.

40,000 rows,
Column A is a Port Code . . . always 4 digits
Column B is a 2 digit code representing a mode of of transportation.
I did it the "brute force" way of concatenating the two columns into column C, then sorting and subtotalling column C . . . .

What I'm trying to do is input a formula in col G which will look for instances of the city named in col F in both cols A and C. This should then return the total of these, from cols B and D that have the letter "F", into col H. Therefore, in the attached example, cell G2 would return "1", G3 would be "0" etc.
Should I be using VLOOKUP or COUNTIF, or maybe a combination of these or something totally different?CityCodeCount.xls

I need a formula to count the number of times the same thing occurs in a particular column. i.e. tree 1, tree 2, tree 3. I just tried the countif function and it is returning "0". Not sure if that's because the data I am looking for is part number/part text. Does this make a difference? There are also spaces between the number and the text. Also, the range I am asking excel to look in is based on a concatenate formula.

If you can see the example spreadsheet that has been uploaded, I need VBA to try and count how many times the number 1, 2 or 3 occurs in the column A and give that figure in b15, 16 and 17 respectively. I also need it count the number of times a particular product appears in column B and give those figures in b19, 20 and 21.

Is it possible to use VBA to calculate the number of numerical occurance within a column of data, and then categorise the results (onto another sheet) based on a grouping variable found in another column of data? I've been trying to create a macro to do such a thing, but I'm not even close ....

Sample Chart.xlsx
I need to enter data every month for the following month (i.e. month end close, for previous month). For this example, let's say I just entered (in May) data for April. Current year is 2014. The attached above is what I have currently, and what I want to achieve. All of the cells have formulas, but I basically don't want data and variances shown for time periods not yet uploaded, so in my example, I should only see filled-in cells for January-April, and not May-December (keep in mind that 2013 data should remain, as these are time periods in the past). I've thought about many scenarios including: modifying the formula but not changing what it is currently doing (essentially gathering and adding data from a different worksheet), conditional formatting to "white out" all cells for months where 2014 data is not available using NOW or similar function. how to do it most efficiently without disrupting what's currently in place.

I need to merge the contents of an Excel 2007 workbook into a text document, creating a series of paragraphs that look like this: Text text text [contents of cell A1] text text text [contents of cell A1] text. Text text text [contents of cell A2] text text text [contents of cell A2] text. Etc.
Apart from the cell contents, each paragraph will be identical. (I would do this by hand, but there are about 500 paragraphs.). Is there a way to merge the cell contents like that into a text document (Word or whatever)?

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 need is for a block of cells (A1:I4) to be visible at all times. I've frozen the sheet so that the top four rows are always visible, but unfortunately the sheet is quite large, horizontally-speaking, so that when users scroll horizontally, important stuff scrolls off the screen.
