Counting Match Pairs In Rows
I am trying to count the number of matched pairs by rows of data and place this into a chart. Please see the screen shot example and manual solution. With the data sets: 1-2-3-4 1-3-4-5 2-3-4-6 3-4-5-6 I want to fill out the chart to find the number of times say 1&2 occur in the same set and 1&3, 1&4, 2&3, 2&4, etc. The formula would be filled into the result matrix. Thanks for your help! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: pairs.jpg | |Download: http://www.excelforum.com/attachment.php?postid=3725 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- bmb2200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bmb2200's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26560 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=398319 |

Oops, correction to formula in line:
Put in AA1: =COUNTIF($S$3:$X$6,Z1) Put in AA1: =COUNTIF(S:X,Z1) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- |

Thanks so much for your solution. I countinued to try and solve my issue and came up with another method. Both seem to have their pros and cons. In my solution, I made another matrix that counts which numbers come up in each data set. Then I did a sumproduct for each pair. See the attached zip spreadsheet. Thanks again! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: matching pairs.zip | |Download: http://www.excelforum.com/attachment.php?postid=3732 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- bmb2200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bmb2200's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26560 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=398319 |
