 Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:37 pm Post subject: Integer tally across cells |
 |
|
Hi everyone.
I used to know how to do this, but have forgotten. I cannot now find anything that can remind me.
I would like to make a tally of the integers (1-9) across a given area of cells or an entire speradsheet.
For example given the numbers 1234 5678 and 1324 I would like to know how often 1s and 2s occur.
Can anyone tell me how to do this simply, please. |

With 1234 in A1, 5678 in A2 and 1324 in A3 this formula returns a count of the 1s in A1:A3...
| Code: | | =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A1:A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A3;1;""))) |
Similarly for the count of 2s... | Code: | | =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A1:A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A3;2;""))) |
Alternatively, this counts the digit you have entered in B1... | Code: | | =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A1:A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A3;B1;""))) |

Thanks Ken. I have tried it but it didn't like the LEN command.
At present I am using a Dutch version of Calc. Could you please tell me what this command stands for and I might be able to find it in the commands in my system.
Unless you happen to know the Dutch command of course 
Thanks for your response. Sorry for the late reply, I was flooded with some urgent translation work. |

LEN (English) is LENGTE (Dutch).
Changing the other functions yields...
| Code: | =SOMPRODUKT(LENGTE(A1:A3)-LENGTE(SUBSTITUEREN(A1:A3;1;"")))
=SOMPRODUKT(LENGTE(A1:A3)-LENGTE(SUBSTITUEREN(A1:A3;2;"")))
=SOMPRODUKT(LENGTE(A1:A3)-LENGTE(SUBSTITUEREN(A1:A3;B1;""))) |

Brilliant, Ken.
I looked online to find this info, but to no avail. Obviously you have the keys to Calc!
I will check out your ideas when I have a moment. Thankyou very much for your help. It is appreciated. Gemma |

You might find it useful for these situations.
