Hi,

Could you provide a sample of your data and of the expected results?

I have filtered data which contain key text with 3 possible options within
each cell, how can I count the text and lookup an additional text in a
column
next to the cell?
ex. f1, f1.5, f2 is the criteria which could be "within" the string of
text,
there is also a 6 digit number within the same text which can be looked up
in
a column to the left. If this 6 digit number is the same, the criteria
should not count.
