Hi James,

Look at the CountIf worksheet function.

To count the number of occurrences of the text in A3 which exist in row 1,
try:

=COUNTIF(1:1,A3)

Is there a formula that will tell me if the text in A1 is found anywhere
else
in Row A? Ideally, I want to enter text in A3, search each row for that
text, put YES in column A, then sort my data to move all the YES rows to
the
top. I'm hoping for some method beside looping through each cell in each
row.
