you could use CountIf function on excel.
e.g CountIF("A1:A500", 1) which will should how many time 1 appear
from
range (A1 to A500).

I ahve a spreadsheet that contains 5 columns of whole numbers
rangeing from 1
to 100. I need to count how many times each number appears in each
column or
even in all 5 columns together. Ex. the number 1 appears 252 times,
etc.

Does anyone know how to sort the data that way? I have imported into
an
access table as well if that's easier.

Please help?
