Default Finding most common occurence of values in cells containing letters and numbers


i have to do a shortage analysis of various part numbers at work.
i do this on a weekly basis , putting each weeks new data in a new
worksheet.
i need to be able to find the most common occuring part no. across
these worksheets.
the problem i have that these part numbers have various different
formats
some are just plain numbers eg 1234
some have a stroke and a number after them to denote a left and right
pair of the same part eg 1234/1.
the last type has the stroke for left and right, and an additional
stroke and a letter to denote revision changes to parts eg 1234/1/A
the part numbers are anywhere from 2 digits up to 7 digits.
is there a way to find which part occurs most so that i can then inform
the right people that they need to concentrate on the particular part.
the part numbers are always in the same column on each worksheet.
