Hello all,
I have the following list:
Apple
Pear
Orange
Apple
Banana
Mango
Mango
Pear
Apple
Bayam
Bayview
Banff

What I would like to do is to count the number of occurances if the criteria is first 3 digits are say "App" so I will get 3 and if my criteria is first 2 digit are "Ba" I would get 4 if I am looking at the column above.

What do I then do if I have a few columns of sum names and I would like to count all occurances over several columns

Thanks

Hi Jumpulas

You can use 2 wild cards in countif():

? - stands for 1 character
* - stands for any number of characters (including 0)

I want to count the number of occurances where say in the 2nd and 3rd digit of each entry is "an" so the answer i would get is 4

Try in F2:

=COUNTIF(A2:B7,"?an*")

that means count (1 character)("an")(any number of characters)

Wonderful and many many thanks for this.


Now for another excel question:
I have the following:

Alpha 5
Beta 10
Alpha 4
Zeta 1
Omega 9
Alpha 5
Beta 6


Without doing a Pivot table I would like to get the following result
Alpha 5 4 5
Beta 10 6
Zeta 1
Omega 6

Once again thanks all for your help.

Alpha 5
Beta 6

In the formulas I use the following named ranges:
  • Items
  • refers to: =Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8
  • Values
  • Refers to: =Sheet1!$B:$B
On Sheet2 in the range A2:A5 you have the unique items listed:

Alpha
Beta
Zeta
Omega

Enter this formula in Sheet2 B2 and copy down to B5. This will return the count of records for each item.

=COUNTIF(Items,A2)

Enter this array formula** in Sheet2 C2. This will extract the values for each item.

=IF(COLUMNS($C2:C2)>$B2,"",INDEX(Values,SMALL(IF(Items=$A2,ROW(Items)),COLUMNS($C2:C2))))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.

Copy down to C5 then across until you get a solid column full of blanks.
