I am trying to find a formula that will look at a list of team names and returns how often a particular team is in the list. What i am exactly trying to do is this. I have 16 teams in a sports tournament and each has to vote for their 1st 2nd & 3rd choice of most spirited team, and i am going to do this with combo boxes, and the results will be in a table with the column headings. Team, 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice. So what i want to do is look down each list in turn and tell me how often a particular team has been selected. For example if i had the list Spades Hearts Spades Diamonds so i would want a return of 2 when querying about spades and a return of 1 when querying about hearts, and diamonds, and a return of 0 when querying about clubs. Anybody got any ideas Sorry bout the long windedness -- pouch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pouch's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36695 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564248 |
