Coverting string of text into individual sums?
Is it possible for me to have excel sum all the one letter codes into individual cells and let me know the count? Ie. (AAABBCDDDD) A=3, B=2, C=1, D=4 and have those sums placed in an individual cell for each? Thanks for the help. -- Pookie76 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pookie76's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12815 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=527651 |
Coverting string of text into individual sums?
Try this: For a value in A2 And B1: A And C1: B B2: =LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A2),B$1,"")) C2: =LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A2),C$1,"")) Those formulas return the counts of "A" and "B" in cell A2, respectively. Is that something you can work with?

Assuming that A2 contains the text string, let C2:C5 contain A, B, C,
and D, then enter the following formula in D2 and copy down: =SUMPRODUCT(--(MID($A$2,ROW(INDEX($A:$A,1):INDEX($A:$A,LEN($A$2) )),1)=C2) ) Hope this helps!
