cleverer code
 

Hi all,

In colums A to M the a number of cells (say 1 to 20 at most) contain coded
information like B45K of 345Tgd or contain nothing.
Example:

A B C D E F
G H I
er34 g67BB 12E HNG33 78R4E er34 12E
12E AAA KHG5 K8K9 K8K9
12E nnG 12E er34
HNG33 12E er34

In each column I want to show only the unique information with the number of
times it occurs in that column, so the above example it would result in
this:

A B C D
E F G H
I
er34 ( 1 ) g67BB ( 1 ) 12E ( 2 ) HNG33 ( 2 ) 78R4E
( 1 ) er34 ( 3 ) 12E ( 1 )
12E ( 1 ) AAA ( 1 ) KHG5 ( 1 )
K8K9 ( 1 ) K8K9 ( 1 )

nnG ( 1 ) 12E ( 2 )

I did succeed in writing code that does the job, but to me it seems rather
clumsy and laborious.

I'm looking for cleverer code, your assistance will be appreciated.

Jim,

I checked my code and saw that I followed a totally different - and very
laborious - way to get the final result. Yesterday I found a relatively
simple way to arrive at a point that corresponds with the example below. The
question now is how to get from there to the result I showed below the
example. I believe there will be a not too complicated way to do it, but I
don't know how.
Please help me further.

Jack.
