I have a column of words. Is there a way
I can sort these to find the most frequent word, followed by the next and so on? |

Formula in B1: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$21,A1) and pull down. Select both Col A and Col B. Under Data Tab Sort & Filter Sort (the box, not the A-Z w/arrow) Sort By: Column B Sort On: = Values Order: Largest to Smallest OK. HTH Regards, Howard |
