Extracting data

[richardthelionheart]

I have data which I need to sort based on certain criteria.
Here are a few examples of the data.
1TT66
32144
24TTT
5T153
36335
TTTTT
44T23
So the data may contain no 'T's' or a number of 'T's'.
These occur randomly in the data.
I need to identify only the following:
Those that contain only 1 'T'
Those that contain no 'T's'
I thought that there might be a formula that could be created that would do this for me, rather than create a number of columns and convoluted maths.
I would be very grateful if someone could give me some direction on this problem.

Use SUBSTITUTE "T" for null and check before and after lengths.

	A	B	C
1	1TT66	3	2 T
2	32144	5	No T
3	24TTT	2	3 T
4	5T153	4	1 T
5	36335	5	No T
6	TTTTT	0	5 T
7	44T23	4	1 T

<colgroup><col style="width: 25pxpx"><col><col><col></colgroup><thead>
</thead><tbody>
</tbody>

I need to identify only the following:
Those that contain only 1 'T'
Those that contain no 'T's'

.. so could it be this variation, copied down.

Excel 365 (Windows) 32 bit
	A	B
1	1TT66
2	32144	0
3	24TTT
4	5T153	1
5	36335	0
6	TTTTT
7	44T23	1
Count T

B1	=LOOKUP(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"T","")),{0,1,2},{0,1,""})

I show you a couple of options:

In fact, if you use the last option you can use "T" or "t".
A shorter option:

=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("t*t",A2),0),"","Yes")
