Hard count question

[currybai]

I have 2 columns, Phone and Count

The data looks like this

Iphone Nokia Blackberry LG 2
Motorola Samsung LG 3

So the first column contains the name of the phone and if someone brought more than 1 phone it would just be separated by a space

The second column is a count of how many times column a appears since I have it group by column a. I have like 5000 rows of all different phone names on every line

Is there a way to get the data like this:

Iphone 2
nokia 2
blackberry 2
motorola 3
samsung 3
LG 5

have you tried a simple countif formula? countif(A:A="iphone")

Try:

Yes but that would mean I have to do it for the 500 or so different phone names I have.

This is great, thank you!

You could first use the text to columns feature to separate out the phone names into their own columns and go from there, probably the best place to start.
