Counting text strings
I have a large XLS which has columns containing multiple text initials of people separated by commas and spaces within each column such as below. I need to be able to count the number of occurrences of each initial within a column into separate cells at the base of that column. Any bright ideas? COLUMN A IN1, BJ2, BJ3 IN1,BJ3 BJ2 BJ3 BJ2 COUNTS IN1=xxx BJ2=xxx BJ3=xxx -- 525047 |
