Count If Cell Contains Text?
Dec 17, 2013
Count if cell contains text string
I have a list of animals and a list of countries they are found in so I wanted to count how many animals are found in each country.
So the count function =COUNTIF(E3:E202,"*" & "India" & "*") works perfectly to count how many have India listed as one of the countries.
But was wondering if there is a way to replace the criteria bit (ie the country name) with information from a cell.
So basically I have copied in a list of countries so I just want to use that as the criteria without having to manually input them all individually.

I am not sure if this is possible, but worth a shot. I am using a countif function to count a cells and I want it to count only if it has text, followed by a space then more text. I've been able to count the text only followed by a space, but cant figure in the more text part.

How count a cell that contains text, for example "ABC fundraiser day 1" by just searching for "ABC".
I need an if/then that says: "if cell F145 contains the text "ABC" then 1, if not 0.
Also, can you count cells by color coding? As in only if it contains the text "ABC" and is shaded green?

I've seen a lot of other posts on here regarding referencing a COUNTIF statement to a cell instead of a value (like this: =COUNTIF(B7:E7,"<=" & B10), but need to do it for text instead of numbers. This is basically what I've got:
A
B
C
Missy 342
Missy
4
[Code].....
Column B is created using a search function, and returning only the Missy or Mike, (using a search function, which I know how to do), and then I want the counts to populate in column C based on how many times either Missy or Mike pops up in the range.
Problem is, when I try and write a formula like =COUNTIF($D$2:$D$9,VALUE(E2)) it doesnt work, but if I put in =COUNTIF($D$2:$D$9,"*Missy*") it works (of course).
Is there any way to get it to reference the text in the cell since the text in the search criteria will constantly change?

I have multiple items (Country Names) in cells exported from another database with what appear to be delimiters (semicolons) that cannot be counted. I want to count the number of items (Countries) separated by the delimiters. Is there a simple way to do this?
Column 1 fields:
TAIWAN, PROVINCE OF CHINA;
BELGIUM;HUNGARY;SWEDEN;ITALY;POLAND;SLOVAKIA;
CANADA;
BELGIUM;HUNGARY;SWEDEN;ITALY;POLAND;SLOVAKIA;CANADA;
INDIA;BRAZIL;DENMARK;GREECE;POLAND;MOLDOVA, REPUBLIC OF;HUNGARY;UNITED STATES;UNITED KINGDOM;
Result needed in Column 2:
2
6
1
7
9
What is the formula needed to get the Column 2 result?

I have a list that changes:
A B
Apples 1
Apples 1
Bananas 1
Carrots 0
Carrots 0
Donut 1
Donut 1
Donut 1
Donut 1
Egg 1
Fish 0
I would like a to create a function in one cell that counts the unique text values in column A, but only when there is a corresponding 1 in column B. So the answer in the above example would be 4 (Apples, Bananas, Donut, Egg).

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 am using Excel to tabulate votes for a contest. Judges have given a number to each entry, and but certain judges' opinions need to count twice as much as other judges' opinions based on their qualifications.
I've attached the file to help illustrate what I'm trying to do. Morris's votes need to count twice for all Photography or Web Design entries, and Clark's votes need to count twice for all Graphic Design or Web Design entries.
I know I can do this manually by simply copying the number into a blank cell in another column (like the blank column between Morris and Clark's names), but is there any way to make Excel do this for me?

Is there any method to speed up a for each loop to count text in a cell with multiple criterias in a single column. This is on example:
Code:
For each rr in r
If rr = "a" And rr.Font.Strikethrough = False Or rr = "B" _
And rr.Font.Strikethrough = False Then
a = a + 1
end if
next

I am trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:
Code:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0))>0,1))
).
The answer should be 4,457.

Is it possible to count Text & Non Text Entries in the following way?
The value in cell A1 = 18A
The value in cell B1 = 18B
The value in cell C1 = 19
A Cell with a value that includes and A or a B constitutues a half of a unit so -
The sum of A1 on its own would be .50
The sum of B1 on its own would be .50
The sum of C1 on its own would be 1.0
The sum of B1:C1 would be 1.5

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.

I'm a newbie to these forums, but I had a question that I couldn't find an answer to in the search feature. So, I joined and here I go....
I have a whole lotta data (nearly 600 "pages" of data) that I pasted into Excel. Unfortunately, it's formatted poorly and I'd like to make it nice and purty.
What I started to do was to create a 2nd sheet and then do an "=" and then click the spot with the 'group name' and then another "=" underneath it and then clicked the spot with the 'premium' info, etc.
After a couple of these, I figured that I could simply make a formula to help me out with it. Please see the attached screen captures for some detail on my issue.
Can someone help me create a formula or a way to count a certain cell and then 52 cells underneath it and display it?

In any case, what I have is a set of cells that may or may not be filled, and which frequently get changed around. As I need the data counted in a specific way for "shenanigans", I am... getting quite tired with having to manually adjust this whenever my co-workers decide to adjust something (and I have been told that throwing bricks at them until they stop is not a valid option).
Basically, I want to count the cells in a way so that for every time a cell is filled, a counter repeats the previous number before continuing the sequence.
I.e
Dog
1
Rat
1
[code]....
My issue is that I have no idea how to get this to count right. I know the theory of how I want this to work, but I just have no idea how to get it to function. The logic of how I want it to count is below, but, again, I just have no idea how to go about getting it to work right without manually typing in the counter, and without ending up with the code working wrongly when there's two filled cells at the top.

First challenge will be assigning point values to Words so I can them up and create averages etc
So I have 4 words I need to learn to assign point vales to, then create a formula that will count the points in a row. That will get me off and running,
So here is a very vague idea of what I mean, this would go in A5 as a example
if A1:D1= complete+2 incomplete+0 submitted+1 missing-1
so if I had a row that was:
Submitted | Submitted |Complete| Complete | Missing | 5
( 5 would be the value the formula would return 1+1+2+2-1)

Say I have a userform that has a bunch textboxes on it. If I wanted to take 20 of those textboxes, and scan through and count which ones have values, is there a simple way to do that?
I need to make it so that if more than 11 of those 20 textboxes contain text, a msgbox will popup and tell my users they are exceeding their limit.
I was thinking one way may be make them all a list, and then somehow count through the list and once the count reaches a specified number it msgbox them...but I'm not sure exactly what the process is for that.

I am trying to count all devices by model on sheet1 (FY13 4th QTR Meter Reads) into cell B524. The range is D2:D519.
Where I run into trouble is when I filter the data by Campus, I only want excel to count the number of devices for the model listed (A524) and place it into B524 for the visible rows.
The current formula I'm using is:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(D2:D519,ROW(D2:D519)-MIN(ROW(D2:D519)),,1))*D2:D519=A524)

Ok so I have a workbook with 29 sheets.
28 of those sheets contain a column with text data in them.
The text data in each column sometimes contains duplicate fields from sheet to sheet.
What I want to do is fill the 29th sheet with one column containing all of the other sheets names, and one row containing all of the different text fields from the data column without any duplicates. That part has already been completed manually, however, if a new text field had to be added to a certain sheet, I would need that new field to be automatically added to the new Master sheet into the row containing all the different text fields from the data columns.
Then for each name in my new 29th sheet, I want to put an "x" in the row/column cell if that text data appears in the individual sheets data column.
E.g I have 2 sheets. The first one is called Apples, the text data column might say: green, smooth, sour etc, with each word in an individual cell.
The second sheet is called Oranges, the text data column might say: Orange, smooth, round, sour etc.
I want to fill my new master sheet with a column listing the two sheet names (Apples, Oranges), a row with all the possible text data names without duplicates (Green, Orange, smooth, sour, round in our example), and then I want to input an "x" wherever the sheet name contains specific text data from the newly created row.
In this case I would expect to see: apples.png

I am working with imported survey data - all the questions are sorted by columns with each respondent's answer in rows. One open ended question on the survey asks people in which states they have lived, so each response cell can contain multiple text values if they have lived in multiple states (and they often respond in full sentences - as in, "we lived in Texas for three years then moved to Arizona"). How do I search all the rows in that whole answer column to count all the mentions of each state? (To complicate matters, the search cannot be case sensitive - although I guess I could do a find and replace to fix the variance).

I have 300 cells filled with around a dozen different names - i.e. the same names crop up multiple times. What I need is automatically creating a list of all the names that appear, ordered by how many times they appear and with the number of times they appear next to them - i.e. ranking the names by their frequency.

I want to learn how to program excel to do this :
1) Type in a text data in a predesignated entry box
2) Excel automatically inserts that text into a table
3) If that text is already in the table, then adds a counter next to it (or increases the counter by one)
4) Excels then clears the text data in the entry box
Basically, I want to tabulate the number of times a specific entry comes up, and it would be much faster if I can just type it in, press enter, and let excel do the rest. It would be ideal if I can also add a date to that entry, so the data table comes up to something like a date vs the entries table, and the intersection would be the number of times each entry comes up on that day.
