Hi Bryan,

I'd be happy to help you with this Excel question. It sounds like you want to create a table with a column of X's and then count the number of X's in each column as you increase the value of X. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start by typing "X" into the first cell of your first column. Let's say this is cell A1.
2. In the cell next to it (B1), type the number 1.
3. In the cell below A1, type the formula
   Formula:

   "=IF(A1="X",1,0)" 

   . This formula will check if the cell above it (A1) contains an X. If it does, it will return a value of 1. If it doesn't, it will return a value of 0.
4. Copy the formula in cell B2 and paste it into the cells below it in column B. This will count the number of X's in column A for each value of X in column B.
5. In cell C1, type the number 2.
6. In the cell below A1, type the formula
   Formula:

   "=IF(A1="X",1,0)*C$1" 

   . This formula will check if the cell above it (A1) contains an X. If it does, it will return a value of 1 multiplied by the value in cell C1. If it doesn't, it will return a value of 0.
7. Copy the formula in cell C2 and paste it into the cells below it in column C. This will count the number of X's in column A for each value of X in column C.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for as many columns as you need.
