Counting Number Of Times TA Shows Within Strings Of Text In A Range Within Sheet?
Dec 7, 2011How would I go about counting the number of times TA shows within strings of text in a range within a sheet. Example: TA,MH in cell A2, CB,TA in cell C40, ES,TA in cell Q19. Result would be 3. Ideally, I'd like the formula to reference a cell that has TA as the look up data such as in A1 I'd have TA.

Oct 10, 2008I am trying to count the number of unique items in a single column (~5,000 rows of data). For example, I may have the following data
a1 = apples
a2 = pears
a3 = oranges
a4 = apples
a5 = apples
a6 = apples
a7 = pears
in this case number of uniques items is 3
Right now I am using a Pivot Table to figure out the number of unique items but I am sure there is an easier way to do this.
Format Row Cell Color Based On Number Of Text Strings In A Column
Jul 29, 2013I have been trying to format the rows on this sheet to color scale red based on the number of repeat text strings in Column E. Referring to the attached example sheet, '321/312.2/321.3' appears the most times and the goal is to color code the rows it appears in the deepest shade of red, then the next highest occurring string would shade the rows it appears in a lighter shade, etc, in descending order. Our team currently does this across multiple sheets manually everyday and it would be a real time saver if we could get excel to do this automatically.

Formula For Counting Number Of Occurrences Within Range Of Cells AND Strings
Jan 14, 2014I'm looking for the easiest way to count the number of occurrences within a cell range.
The formula that I'm currently using is:
=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,"a*")
This counts the number of cells that start with 'a' and returns the sum. It seems to work fine, but when I try to make it look for more values in the range it gives me an error. For example;
When I want to find multiple values in the range and count them all, I use this formula:
=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,OR("a*","b*","c*"))
Count Unique Strings In Excel Column
Apr 3, 2012I 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.

Counting Unique Values In A Column?
Jan 17, 2008How 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 Fields Containing Text And Numeric Values
Sep 19, 2012I 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?

Counting Unique Entires In A Filtered Column
Dec 17, 2009I'm trying to get a forumla to tell me if a filtered column is showing a unique entry.
suppose column A has as follows
A1 - Bob
A2 - Bob
A3 - Sam
A4 - Bob
A5 - Sam
Now, if I filter by ANY column, I want to have a formula that will tell me if the filtered/visible name(s) in column A is only 1 name. Mind you, if the user filters by criteria in a another column, the unique name may show in column A, only once or multiple times depending on how the other column is filtered.
I've tried count, counta, countif and such but doesn't seem to deal with what I am trying to do.

Convert Text Strings To A Code Or Number
Mar 22, 2006In column A and B I have text representing an Entity and its Intercompany,
respectively. In column C I have concatenated the two. So now in Column C,
for example, I have "BillTom" in row 1 and "TomBill" in row 900.
I need Excel to convert the text into some sort of code, ASCII or number
that shows they are EQUAL. I need something that shows "TomBill" and
"BillTom" are the same thing, just in a different order.
I cannot build an IF formula or use Find/Replace, as I will have thousands
of these types of combinations.
Counting Unique Values From Column Meeting Multiple Criteria?
Jun 26, 2014I am working on an attendance spreadsheet in Excel 2003 at work that will display data showing number of learners allocated to an activity, number unallocated, number attended, number not attended, number of acceptable reasons and number of unacceptable reasons by Block Letter. My problem is that for a number of reasons the same learner number is allocated to a number of activities each day. I need to know how many learners from each block have been allocated, not how many allocations each learner has from each Block.
I have tried different formulas, but fast running out of time
I have attached a modified sample from the main spreadsheet
I need : Cell H4 to calculate the number of unique values from Column C on Mon tab but only meeting the following criteria Mon!$N$3:$N$4000="AM", Mon!$O$3:$O$4000=D4, Mon!$B$3:$B$4000="mon1" I can then apply to the other rows.

So column A contains text strings such as:

Identifying Duplicate Text Strings In A Column
Sep 17, 2005with creating this macro to identify duplicate text strings in a column, which is great.
But, I'd like to be able to identify them by changing the text of the subsequent duplicates that are found.
For example, if 3 cells in a column are 1111, I'd like to add a string of text to the end of the 2nd & 3rd cell, but not the 1st cell.
1111
dup-1111
dup-1111-dup
This will enable me to sort the column and find the duplicate easier than just visually.
Sub color_dup()
Dim r As Range, rng As Range, Col As String
Col = "d"
Set rng = Range(Col & ":" & Col)
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
For Each r In Range(Col & "1", Range(Col & "65536").End(xlUp))
If Application.CountIf(rng, r) > 1 Then
r.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
Next
End Sub
