What Formula 2 Use 2 Count SEVERAL Strings In A Column?
Aug 21, 2008
I'm a novice trying to figure out the following:
I have a column, where each cell in the column has one of the following "ratings" entered as text:
excellent
good
fair
poor
How do I count the number of times "poor" AND "fair" are listed in the column? I used the following countif forumla to count the # of occurences of the word "poor":
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.
I am looking for a way of creating the following conditioned concatenation.
I have two tables, let's call them "summary" and "detailed".
The "detailed" table is something like the following:
ID VOL
001 01
001 05
[code]....
The "summary" table below gets info from the "detailed" table. The 'ID'is now unique. I'm looking for a formula on the 'VOL (concatenated)' column cells it should get all rows from the "detailed" table with the same ID and then concatenate the 'VOL' column results, comma separated:
ID (unique) VOL (concatenated)
001 V01, V03, V05
002 V01, V04
003 V06
PS: I have people using this table with office 2003, so compatibility is necessary...
I have a file where I want to count number of cells where the value is greater than 0. in the attachment, i just want to populate that count below the column indicated therein. So in the example, desired result is two.
I have a formula that counts if a date range is present. However I need to change it to count another column only if that date range is present. For example a17 a50000 the user will enter the date of the order. and in column B has the order number. I want the formula to count the order numbers for a data range in column A. Here is what I have but it is counting the dates in col A not the order numbers in B?
I am very comfortable with VBA but I usually avoid using formulas if at all possible (unfortunately, I have, formulas are unavoidable (by request).. so formulas it is)
I will try to explain
Column A is a list of dates (ever expanding) Column B is a list of names ( multiple entries of various names but aligned with various dates) Column H is a list of names (each possible name which can appear in column B, no duplicates)
Cell I1 = A Date Cell J1 = A Date (forming a date range)
Basically what I need to do is:
= COUNTIF(B:B,H2) - but only count it if it is withing the date range (>=I1 & <=J1)
I have tried wrapping it in an IF statement but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a list of names in C1 down that I want to count. There could be hundreds of names in C1 and I don't want to sumif all of them. There must be a simpler solution
I'm trying to build a formula that counts the amount of cells within a range that contain multiple strings of text within the same cell. I only know how to build a formula that snags cells that contain 1 but not 2 different ones within the same cell. For example: I want to count cells if they have the word BALL and STICK somewhere in the cell....see three cell examples below
gameballnetstick ballgame stick ball tenballs green stick
Of the three examples: it would only count cells: gameballnetstick and stickball
In Column A I have the list of strings that I need to search. I want to count the number of occurrences of these strings inside these two text files: Sample1.txt and Sample2.txt. For example I have the string "DOG". I want to search and count the number of times this string appeared in Sample1.txt, and Sample2.txt
I have a formula that tests the minimum time in a column. If the time is the minimum it gets a PB (Personal Best) notation. My problem is once a season there is a competion that needs to be recorded on the worksheet however I do not want this time for this competion counted in the MIN test or to get a PB allocated. I have worked out how to ignore the PB but I cannot get the MIN test to work properly. Dates of comp are in Col B, data (times) in Col C and formula for PB's in Col D. When a cell in Col B (Dates of comp) = Region I want the MIN test to ignore the value in the adjacent cell in Col C.
problem is in the same vain as my last thread "Formula to count MIN with condition". In the attached worksheet samples, Col B has competition dates, Col C is time/distance data, Col C (filled down) is the formula that recogises if the time/distance is a PB.
Once a season there is an event "REGION" where I want the formula to ignore the data in Col C adjacent to "REGION". The date of REGION changes every year and could be anywhere in Col B. The first attachment is what the sheet currently looks like and the second is what I want it to record, specifically D11. Even though D10 is a better distance, it would be ignored as it is REGION.
formula that will count the number of times the name 'SIMON' appears in column C:C but here is the catch: I only want to know how many times that name has appeared over the course of the previous week. IE NOW - 7days
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'm trying to count the number of incidents in column BB that are >0 but only IF the value in column E is "Abbeywood". i.e. how many times there's a figure greater than 0 for Abbeywood. I can't seem to get count if to do this!
We have one excel file for monitoring of action items generated by the management after the study. As since there were around 3000+ rows has been generated since in the beginning of 1990's till to-date. So I was thinking of instead of getting the result through filter manually, I want to create a formula that will count of how many has been closed this year and this month out of the total numbers of action items.
Is it possible to use the COUNTIF function formula to count the number of items in column A, and date of column B, and closed in column C.
In below, we can see that there were 4 items under Revalidation has been closed this month and the total number of closed this year is 6.
I am writing a macroI have three variables named "name", " book", and "count". In previous statements these variables have all been defined as String, String, Integer respectively. I am trying to uses all of these variables in the same formula and am encountering issues. The formula I wish to use it in is:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNT('[" & book & "]" & name & "!'""B6:B" & count & ")"
Where if book = Book1 ; name = "Sheet1" ; and Count = 100 I would want the following result: "=COUNT('[Book1]Sheet1!B6:B100)"
I have two columns each column has a combination of the same 3 words "cash", "card", and "trade". The are formatted as "Cash & Card & Trade" or "Cash & Card" or "Card" ect. I want a formual that can combine the entries written into each columan into one column. I will put an example below.
I am using the following formula to join several text strings together:
=CONCATENATE(B4,$A$1,C4,$A$1,D4,$A$1,E4,$A$1,F4)
(in the above $A$2 is just a few spaces in order to seperate the test)
I was wondering if there is a way of joing text strings that will align all info properly? Right now it just joiins them together but visually that is not really very appealing.
This is an example of what I am getting: 11 111 1111 11 111 22 2222 22 2222 222 333 33 3333 333 333
This is how I want it: 11 111 1111 11 111 22 2222 22 2222 222 333 33 3333 333 333
I am trying to write a formula that filters on two txt strings. The table consists of only three columns an ID number, a subject field and a date&time column but the number of rows will change every week as new records are added.
What I would like to do is search for the start of text string then the end txt string compare the ID number to make sure they are the same then work out the number or work hours the call has been open for. This then needs to be repeated for all entries in the table. The table will contain many other txt strings that need to be ignored.
And I need to see whether any of these appear in cells in a reference column G. If they do, I would like to return 'Used' into column B.
An example of the type of text in each cell in column G is:
"If you have any questions regarding your offer, please contact me. For any questions regarding your benefits, payroll or company policies and programs, please contact HR. Sincerely, {{Advisor_Signature__c}} {{Advisors_Job_Title__c}}"
I don't seem to able to search for a text string across multiple reference cells.
