Listing numbers appearing once in a range, then another column listing those occuring twice, then three etc...

[welsh_philt]

Hi,

I've an idea that would help me massively in work but I've no excel knowledge at all.

I've created a long column of numbers which can appear anywhere from once to seven times. I would like to create a table that has seven columns (cunningly entitled 'one appearance' to 'seven apperances') with the numbers that occur that many times listed below.

Is that possible?

Here's one approach, though probably not the most compact. Column A is the list of numbers. Columns B:H segment the first occurrence of each number into one of the seven bins. Columns J:P gives a consolidated listing. Columns B:H can be hidden if you like. Adjust the ranges to accommodate the length of your list. In this example the list occupies A2:A150.

You might try Advanced Filter/Unique records and apply Countif to result.

Sheet1

The formula in cell C2 (confirmed with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER ), copied down until it displays nothing:

=IF(ROWS($C$2:C2)>SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$1000<>"")/COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,$A$1:$A$1000&"")),"",INDEX($A$1:$A$1000,MATCH(SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,ROW($A$1:$A$1000)-ROW($A$1)+1,1),$A$1:$A$1000)=1,COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"<"&$A$1:$A$1000)),ROWS(C$2:$C2)),IF(COUNTIF(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,ROW($A$1:$A$1000)-ROW($A$1)+1,1),$A$1:$A$1000)=1,COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"<"&$A$1:$A$1000)),0)))


The formula in cell D2 copied down:

=COUNTIF(A:A,C2)


If your list of numbers in column A goes beyound row 1000, then in cell C2, adjust the 1000's to a larger number.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Apart from the suggestions already made, I'm wondering if you really do need 7 columns for your results?

If you do, then perhaps the sort of layout in D1:K6 below might be some use. The formula in E2 is copied across and down.

If you don't, then maybe Excel's built-in Pivot Table feature (shown in D11:E18 below) might be useful.
