Percentage of values in list
 

Hi Guys,

I am a excel n00b so, please be gentle!!

I have a caolumn with a list of values of cars like:

Ford
Chrysler
Ford
Toyota
Mazda
Toyota
Ford
Ford

I want to create a new sheet that lists all possible values and for
each value the number of times it appears in the list.

In this case it would be:

Ford 4
Toyota 2
Chrysler 1

etc etc etc

Could someone please help on how to do it?

The cell range is about C4-C26000 and has about 100 different possible
values so its quite large.

Thanks in advance,

Let list be in A1:A25
In B1 enter the text Ford
Enter other makes below that
In C1 type =COUNTIF(A1:A25,B1)
Copy this down the column by dragging its fill handle - Little solid square
in right bottom cornet when cell is selected
best wishes

To get percentage change C1 to =COUNTIF(......)/COUNTA(A1:A25) and format as
%

Hi Al

First, select column C, then goto Data Filter Advanced Filter
Check "Unique records only OK

Copy the filtered range to the desired sheet.

If you have the original data in sheet1 and use sheet2 to count number
of appearances, with "Toyota, Ford etc." in A2 and down, enter this
formula in B2:

=countif(Sheet1!$C$4:$C$26000,A2)

Copy the down as needed.

Regards,
Per

bit of typing.....
