Need formula to list words
In N1 enter:
=OFFSET(A$1,ROUNDUP(ROW()/13,0)-1,MOD(ROW()-1,13)) and copy down this will produce a list of the contents of A1 thru M50 in a single column. Let's assume that the cells in the table contain either a single word or are blank. The count of the words is: =COUNTIF(A1:M50,"<" & "") -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200831 "milo" wrote: Hi. how do I create a list of words and count them as well using formula?

Need formula to list words
I'm afraid that was not exactly what I mean.
Let say some cells in range (A1:M50) contained words "happy", "birthday", "new year", "anniversary", etc. All I wanted to do is to list down all the words in a separate area or column. The result should be as follows: 1. anniversary (1) 2. birthday (1) 3. happy (5) 4. new year (1) And if possible I want the result also sort automatically. Thanks in advance.

Once you have changed your 13x50 table into a single column, you can create a
Pivot Table to get EXACTLY what you want: 1. a separate table listing each item uniquely 2. alphabetized 3. a count of the item next to each item see: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Pivots/pivottables.htm and http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot07.html#Unique -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200831 "milo" wrote: I'm afraid that was not exactly what I mean.
