Hello,
I have a long list of about 50,000 words in column A. Some of these
words are the same.
I want to know the exact number of times each word appears in the A
column.
And I want to sort these words based on how many times they appear in
the A column.
How can I do that?

Hello,
i need to do one project for a university, and i can't get the formula right... hope somebody can help me out, would appreciate that alot!
situation is this. I have two text articles and have all their words put to column a with a count of how many times each word appears in all article (see attachmen), columns A and B.
Then respectively in columns GH and IJ there are words from each article and number, how many times each word appears in article.
I need to come up with a formula, to get numbers in indicated in red (in the attachment) which checks if the word on column A exists in Article 1 and if yes, how many times.
Appreciate your help!!
I am total newbie when it comes to working with excel and I would appreciate if someone could help me with the following two problems I am having -
1. In a single column I have a list of random words e.g in column A, I have 1000 words going vertically down, in columns 1 down to a 1000. I would like to know how I can add a comma to the end of each word automatically?
2. In column A I have a list of 2,609 words going vertically down (the amount of words could be any random amount - even and odd numbers). In column A for the first 20 words I would like to automatically put the words "GROUP 001" in Column B next to the first 20 words in column A, thus the words "GROUP 001" would be repeated 20 times in column B. For the next 20 words in line in Column A, I would like to put the words "GROUP 002" in Column B, thus the words "GROUP 002" would be repeated 20 times in column B. In this example there are 2,609 words so 2,609 divided by 20 = 130.45, so there would be GROUP 001 to GROUP 131 in column B.
I hope this is not to much of a challenge.
Thanks in advance

I have a spreadsheet full of data that I only want certain parts of. Say I have column A full of different data, with 4 different words, but 100 rows of data.
I also have column E which has 12 different words and again 100 rows of data
What I have is 2 graphs.
1 shows information from Column A. It has the 4 different words and the number of instances of that word. So for example, word A has a value of 50, the other 3 make up the remaining 100
The second chart shows the 12 different words from Column E and again the number of instances they appear in column E. So example word Z appears 12 times.
What I want is another graph that shows word A (from column A) broken up. I want it to show what words (if you like) from column E to make up word A. A very confusing way to put it I know, but I tried.
So I have created a new page and I am currently trying to get the values that will make up my graph. But what is the formula I would use?
For example, for the second graph I use =countif(Sheet!E:E, "Word")
How do I change this to get what I need?
Cheers.
Hello I have a large text file and want to count the number of times each word appears. I have imported the data, using spacing as my deliminator, which more or less worked. Does anyone know a way that I could program it to count the number of times each word appears? Thanks
Hi,
This is likely a pretty easy one. Attached is a spreadsheet example of what I'm trying to do. I have a column with words in it and I want to see how many times each word appears in the column. In the example attached I've put the numbers that the cell should return.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have a long list of terms in the 'A' column. Each term contains several different words. What I would like to do is create a table that has two columns: One column contains each individual word that occurs within the 'A' column, and the Second column in the table would show the number of times that word occurs in in the 'A' column. This table should fill itself in with each word that has occurred in the 'A' column.
Hopefully I'm explaining myself well enough. I've attached a screenshot of the thing that I'm looking for. Thanks so much for any help!!!

Hello everyone,
I have a question here and wondering if somebody could help me out. I'm going to try to explain it the best I can. Here we go...
In column F, I have dates. Every cell down the column has different dates. For example: F1709 = 5/28/2008, F1710 = 5/19/2008, etc...
And in Column D, I have different words. For example: Cancellation, Transfer, Application, etc..
I'm trying to tell Excel to count everything in Column F that is between 5/1/2008 - 5/30/2008 that has a different word.
For example I need it to be like this:
Between 5/1/2008 and 5/30/2008 the word Cancellation appears 10 times, Application appears 23 times, etc...
I hope I have explained myself clearly and somebody can help me!!
Thanks everyone

Hi,
I have a problem to count some words in a column: in fact, in the cell they can write several words and my objective is to count in this column how many times there is the word "info" but as they can write several words in the same cell,(for example: speciality, info, degree) I can t really count how many times the word info is written in the column.
Is there a solution?
Thanks
I need help with an excel formula...
If a certain word appears in cells B2:B8, I want the number of times the word appears to be added up in cell A10
Let's say the word is dog and it appears 2 times in the specified cells, then the number 2 would be in cell A10.
Thank you
I need to build a way to check sequential characters.
I have 26 characters (alphabet) and a long list of 7 letter words.
I need a way to check each word for how often a group of letters appears in words, The result will be counts of three to six letters. Letters are not necessarily contiguous.Double letters are not counted.
The program would search all words for letters starting with a minimum of three letters in sequence.
The result would be how many times a sequence of letters occurs.
I think an easy way to do this would be to first sort the word into alphabetical order
for instance
bangles would become abeglns
aground would become adgnoru
searches would become:
abeglns: abe=1,abg=1,abl=1,abn=1,abs=1,aeg=1,ael=1,aen=1,aes=1,agl=1,agn=1,ags=1,aln=1,als=1,ans=1
adgnoru: adg=1,adn=1,ado=1,adr=1,adu=1, agn=2 ,ago=1,agr=1,agu=1,ano=1,anr=1,anu=1,aor=1,aou=1,aru=1
I have incremented agn as it appears in both words.
I thought maybe the best way to do this is in Excel as I do not know any programming and I also want to be able to sort to show sequences that appear a certain number of time.
Is Excel capable of doing this?
Can someone advise me how to do it?
Thanks
Hi
I have put a formula in excel to count how many times the word 'administration' appears in a column:
=COUNTIF(K2:K99,"Administration")
Unfortunately, the output that I am searching has mulitple words in it, separated with a colon and no space. My formula skips the count if the word Administration is not completely on it's own
e.g. Administration counts 1
Administration;Cardiology does not count
Could anyone help me to adjust my formula to look for the word Administration if it is amongst other words?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I have a very long column of different words (eggs, bacon & tomatoes), There are about 3000 rows with these words. I am trying to count the number of times each word appears in sequence. For example A1:A4 is eggs then A5 :A11 is bacon etc etc. What I am trying to see is 4 eggs then 6 bacon. I have used countif but this gives me the totals, not the sequence? Not sure what to do here. Any ideas would be helpful. Cheers

I want to count how many times each number (every column has its own numbers) appears in each one of the columns. For example:
In column A: 1 appears 5 times, 2 appears 2 times, 3 appears 2 times.
In column L : 0 appears 2 times, 5 appears 2 times, 3 appears 3 times and 7 appears 2 times
What can I do to? Can I organize all this data in 1 pivot table? What is the best and most efficient way?
Thanks a lot!

Hi All,
I need to count the number times a specific word appears in a column but only when there is another specific word in a different column but on the same row....if that makes sense.
I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Many Thanks
Hi All,
I need to determine the total number of words in a column and output the total to a different cell. Each cell will only ever have one word. I can do this with ASAP Utilities, but I need to be able to repeat this automatically as the word list changes. so I need a formula instead. Can someone please show me how to do this? I can find references online for how to count instances of a certain word, or duplicates, but nothing for the total words in a column. Thanks!

I got some fantastic help on this forum yesterday regarding how to count and identify the most frequently occurring words across rows of text.
I now have some added challenges to that same problem that I need some help with.
Attached is a sample Excel 2007 file containing 3 worksheets.
The Raw Data worksheet has the sample raw data. My real data is MUCH larger.
The Stop Words worksheet has a list of words that should not be included in the results. My actual list of Stop Words has about 600 words.
The Count Results worksheet is the final worksheet. In this sheet I'd like to do 2 things. First, I'd like to be able to enter a Maximum number of words to list. So, the user might enter the number 20 (in cell B1), as the Maximum number of words to list.
Second, I'd like to have the sorted list of most frequently occurring words in the Raw Data in one column, and in the next column I'd like to have the frequency with which the words occurred. In other words, the word that occurs most frequently would be listed first, along with the number of times it occurred; however, none of the Stop Words values will be included in this list.
I would really appreciate help with this!
Hi All,
I am new to this forum, but just had to post as I am struggling having spent many hours searching, I cannot find a suitable answer for my needs so hope I have explained enough below.
Situation: I have a document containing many many words, like a specification or book, for which I need to identify the number of words which match a pre-defined list of words or "key words" and how many times they occur from selected pages.
In other words a key word search, hi-lighting the word found and the number of times used.
I have copied and pasted (from word into excel) splitting the original document in the workbook into rows and columns with each cell generally containing a word, symbol or characher.
The lookups/arrays I have played with do not seem to work when I used the Defined Name Table I created for the "key words" (called keywords) against the Defined Name Table I created for the document (called spec) to be compared.
I have tried individual column Defined Table Names also with no success and am no good at all with VBA!
Can anyone assist me please I need a solution quickly, there seems to be a wealth of knowledge and skills on this forum for which I am confident an answer will be forth coming.
Thanks in advance
Dear Amazing Excel Team,
Say I had a list of words, all 9 letters long and I wanted to find all the words that had anagrams of themselves (e.g. ISOPTERAN - PATRONISE) and then list them separately as a new list.
I have tried all sorts of Excel spreadsheet solutions, but I always hit a dead end.
Can anyone write some code that I could add to a module that would accomplish this? The logic would go something like this:
Start with first word, check that word against all the words in the list (column of words), if it is an anagram with another word (e.g. ISOPTERAN - PATRONISE), then both words would be extracted and pasted in a new list for the first occurrence, if while still checking the first word in the list against the remaining words it found a second match, only the second word found would be extracted and pasted in the new list. After the first word was checked against all the words in the list the second word would be checked. Then the third, etc. until the whole list was checked.
Would someone be able to tell me how to easily summarize the occurance/number of times a word appears in a range. I trieed to use a pivot table or just a table and had no luck. The simplest example I can give is this if you have words in one column and you simply want to summarize how many times each word appears...
A1: Goat
A2: Cat
A3: Dog
A4: Goat
A5: Cat
A6: Cat
A7: Dog
A8: Goat
A9: Dog
Summary:
Goat: 3
Cat: 3
Dog: 3
Thanks a lot

Hi room
Can anyone help me?
In one column I have a mix of numbers and words (A2:A999). Each cell has either a word or number - no mixed entries. i.e - "71225" or "WORD", not "4CAST'.
I'd like another column to list only the words - populating the column with no gaps. For example: when a word is found in the column A2:A999, B2 returns the value, when a different word is found B3 is populated - and so on. I hope this makes sense.
If anyone could give me a help or a start I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
I am trying to count the number of times that 2 fields of criteria are met in a worksheet. For example if you are listing each time a group of people say a particular word. You have 5 people and 5 words, but only want to count when 1 person says 1 particular word. List of names is in one column, and list of words is in another. Want to count each time in same row. What would you use?
