Find number of times certain words show up in a column
I have a spreadsheet with roughly 2000 rows and 4 columns with column "A"
having model Par Numbers (which contain alphanumeric characters). I need to end up with a count of how many times each PN shows up. The result can be in the same sheet or a new one, but must be a list of unique PNs and their respective count. Since I have to do this twice weekly it becomes very time consuming to do it manually. Can someone help me with this? Thanks, |

Find number of times certain words show up in a column
Hi
To create a list of unique PN, select column A, goto Data Advanced Filter Action: Copy to another location Copy to: select cell on current sheet Check 'Unique records only' OK Suppose you have your unique list in E2 and down, enter this formula in F2 and copy it down as required: =COUNTIF(A:A;"="&E2) If you want to have it more automated, you will need a macro.
