Default Compare a column of substring with another column of strings and get count
Shanmu has brought this to us :
Below is the scenario. I have 2 columns. Column A has some article Ids
(IS123, IS1234, etc.). Column X has Solutions provided to customer,
where this article Id would be a reference (substring.)

I need the to compare each article Id (column A) with all solutions
provided (Column X) and get the count of occurrences of each article Id
in Column B.

Please Help!!

-Shanmu

The COUNTIF() function is what you need, and usage can be found under
the Function Reference in online help.
