Getting Excel To Count Text Entries

Jul 18, 2014

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.

Count Unique Text Entries Given A Certain Condition In A Separate Range?

Aug 11, 2014

I need to count the number of unique text values in the first column given a condition in the 2nd column. For example, the formula that I'm looking for should give a result of "3" because it is an SME, and there are 3 unique companies that are classified as SMEs.

Company Name
Company Type

Company A
SME

Company B
SME

(I cant seem to make the tables visible but Company A and Company D right below the header should be in one cell) This should still yield a value of "3" despite having Company A and D in the same cell.

Count Highest Number Of Duplicate Text Entries In Range

Nov 2, 2011

I have a column that is filled with different names. Some names appear more than once. There is one name in fact that appears four times.

I am looking for a formula, or VBA if that's necessary, that will look through the range Y2:Y50, and return a value of 4, because the person that has the most duplicates, her name appears 4 times.

If everyone's name appeared only once, except for a person whose name was in that range twice, then the formula would return a 2.

Count Text & Non Text Entries

Mar 30, 2007

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

Excel 2010 :: Automatically Change Text Entries To Set Number ID / VBA?

Jul 24, 2014

Basically I first want to be able define around 100 variables such as:

Dog = 1
Cat = 2
Mouse = 3

And so on. The reason being my final data needs to be the numbers for it's purpose but because there are so many I can't possibly remember them all to just type out 23 | 44 | 76 | 2 etc. What I would like to then happen is that whenever I type out the words in a cell it's automatically replaced with the number ID.

So typing in

Dog
Mouse
Mouse
Cat
Dog

would automatically result in

1
3
3
2
1

In those cells when I hit enter or at the end in one go. Is this at all possible in Excel 2010?

Count Formula: Count Total Entries In Columns

Feb 22, 2007

I have been using the wrong formula to count total entries in columns and only just found this error. The MAX formula in cell B4 is: =MAX($B$12:$B$36). If the all the rows are full within range F12:F36, then the MAX formula is fine to count the total within range B12:B36 (25) so I thought. But sometimes there are omissions between F12:F36. If there are 2 blank cells anywhere within F12:F36 for example, then B4 needs to show 23 respectively. In the sample WkBk B4 needs to show 8

Excel 2007 :: How To Count Cells Contain Text

Feb 20, 2014

I export data into Excel format from a corporate reporting tool. 1 column includes a product description in text format, however, due to the many different products I need to count the number of cells based on a single word in the product description.

Hypothetical Example:

The report contains various information about vehicles. The product description exports to a single column and may include "Ford Fusion", "Ford Focus", "Chevrolet Malibu", "Chevrolet Impala", etc. I only need to count how many cells contain information about Fords and Chevrolets. The model detail is not needed.

I'm able to count if I enter the complete and exact make & model description, but want to avoid this due to the large quantity of products.

I'm using Excel 2007, on Windows 7, 64 Bit Enterprise

Excel 2003 :: How To Show Differences And Count Between 2 Columns Of Text

Aug 5, 2012

Have Excel 2003. I have

List of email addresses in column a
List of email addresses in column b

** I would like a formula that will take all the values in column A and compare it to the entire list of entries in column B.
Would like it to show in Column C any entries in Column A that ARE NOT in the entire column B.

*Would like it to repeat for entries that are in Column B, but not in Column A and show in D.

*Then would like a count of the differences for each column (that is pretty easy).

It needs to look at the entire list of entries in the column as these will be email addresses. We want to know what is missing from Column A that is not in Column B and what is missing from B that is not in A.

Excel 2003 :: How To Count Cells With Instances Text Not Instances Of Text

Aug 17, 2012

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.

Count By Unique Entries

Feb 24, 2007

I am hoping this can be done with formulae. Starting at C7 and continuing down the C column there is a list of names which could potentially run from C7 to C5000. This list of names will contain duplicates. For each name there is a corresponding 'reason' in the F column which will contain the word 'Truancy' or 'Late'.

I need a formula that can count the number of UNIQUE names in the C column which correspond to the word 'Truancy' or 'Late' in the E column.

An example,

[Name].....................[Reason]
C7 ...........................E7
John Potts.................Truancy 2
Matt Jones................Truancy 10
John Potts.................Truancy 4
Matt Jones ...............Late AM
Pete Burns................Late PM
Pete Burns ...............Late Both
Steve Lopez..............Truancy 6

Count of unique names with the word Truancy in the corresponding E column = 3 [John Potts has 2 instances of the word truancy in column E but this is only counted once]

Count of unique name with the Word Late in the corresponding E column = 2 [Pete Burns has 2 instances of the word late in the E column but this is only counted once].

I have also included a sample workbook.

Count Unique Entries With Criteria?

Dec 3, 2012

Count unique entries in a column according to two specified criteria.Specifically, I am trying to count the number of days in a month a supplier has a visited.Below is an example taken from the excel:

COLUMN A COLUMN B
Date Supplier
01-ago-12 Mr X
01-ago-12 Mr X
01-ago-12 Mr X

I want a formula that allows me to see how different dates Mr X has visited in each month. So in August he has visited 8 times BUT only on 5 different dates.

In the case of Mr Y I want the formula to give the answer 5 (even though he has visited 6 times in total, he has visited on only 5 different dates).

In the case of Mr X in September, the answer to the formula would be 2, since has visited on 2 different dates in September.

Count Number Of Entries In A Sheet

Nov 12, 2008

I have a list of words in one column, some of which feature more than once, in random order, i.e.:

Bird
Plane
Superman
Superman
Plane
Superman
Bird
Plane

I want to have a function that counts the number of times each word appears, so in the cell next to each entry for "Superman" it would say 3, for "Bird" 2 etc. If I add another "Superman" it should then change to 4 next to each entry. Also, I will be adding new words all the time, so the function needs to be able to cope with that too.

Min / Max And Count Of Entries By Sales Person

Jan 7, 2014

I have some data, similar to below which is sales data for each sales peson in my firm. The info I have is the name, the quoted value and the sold value. I estimate by the end of the month I will have over 400-500 entries so dont want to do this manually.

I have been able to use the sumif function to tell me the totals that each sales person has sold and quoted.

Now I want to work out the

min and max that each sales person has quoted and sold

and

The number of sales each sales person has had

Are there formulas to do this?

Ive looked at the min/max functions but I believe they will only give me the min and max for all of the quoted and sold whereas I want this by sales person.

I have also looked at the count function but this will only provide a count of the entire number of sales and quoted, again I want this by sales person.

Sales Person
Quoted
Sold
