counting groups of words
I have a column of cells that I would like to count the occurances of
duplications of each group of words. Example: AMIN500S 1 AMIN400EC 9 AMINO500 5 and so on. I would like a formula that does not require me to input any specific text to search for in the formula as there are over 12000 entries in the column. Any help on this dilema is greatly appreciated. AMIN500S AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMIN400EC AMINO500 AMINO500 AMINO500 AMINO500 AMINO500 |

counting groups of words
Hi,
Hi you could use =COUNTIF(A:A,A1) But if you used this on your data list you would get duplicates. Instead you could extract unique values to another range using Data|Filter|Advanced filter and then follow the wizard to extract the unique values to a new location and use the formula above on these unique values. -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

Put a label at the top of the column; e.g. "Words" Select some cell within the table Insert/Pivot Table (menu option different on pre XL2007) Drag Words to Row area Drag Words to Data or Values area It should come up "Count of Words" Format to taste: Words Count AMIN400EC 9 AMIN500S 1 AMINO500 5 Grand Total 15 One option, since you wrote you only wanted to list the duplications: Select the "Filter" drop down button next to Words Value Filters Does not equal 1 Words Count AMIN400EC 9 AMINO500 5 Grand Total 14 --ron |
