not even sure if this is possible in excel .
i want to compare all the rows in the column and get the count of them if the string contains "the"
so i know i can do this
=count(B0:B99)
is there a way to do B0- BN ? the count
(~df.col3.str.contains('u|z')).sum() found this trying to make this work so i know its possible now.
now can i only count them if b0- bn contain the string "the" . lets assume all the rows contain strings
my backup plan is exporting the data and writing a ruby script to do it but i feel like i should be
note everything is in column B
=SUM(IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("the ",B:B),0)<>0,1,0))
enter this as array formula by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter in formula bar.
Result should look like this:
{=SUM(IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("the ",B:B),0)<>0,1,0))}
This will count all cells which contain string "the" in your column:
=COUNTIF(B1:B99,"*the*")
Add an extra column (D) with formulas similar to =IFERROR(SEARCH("the",C1),0) in each cell where Column C contains the text you want to search, and add a summary formula =SUMIF(D1:D100,">0",B1:B100) to a single cell where Column B contains the numbers you want to sum.

I am trying to create an output in excel based off the number of words in cells. Essentially i want to check if the sum of the words in 3 cells is = 1,2 or >=3. Im using the len formula which i have successfully used on single cell conditions but im struggling to create the formula that would check multiple cells.
Below is an example of my data:
Column A Column B Column C
Cat;dog Bird
Formula
=SUMIF(AND(LEN(TRIM(A4))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1, LEN(TRIM(C4))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C4," ",""))+1, >=3), "Titanium")

First I made a single formula to work on a single cell. It ignores semicolons and commas to calculate total words. That formula is in column F and it's:
=IF(LEN(E5)=0;0;LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5;";";" ");",";" ")))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5;";";" ");",";" "));" ";""))+1
Notice I added an IF to make sure that blank cells will count as 0 words (because the +1 will be added wrongly and we need to avoid this.
Now you just need to sum up all results and we get 8 words.
What you want is to get this result with a single formula and that can be perfomed with array formulas. In cell F11 my formula is:
=SUM(IF(LEN(E5:E8)=0;0;LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5:E8;";";" ");",";" ")))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5:E8;";";" ");",";" "));" ";""))+1))
You need to introduce this formula pressing CTRL+ENTER+SHIFT or it won't work!
Now you got the result in a single formula and you just need to add your conditions mentioned in your post
UPDATE: In your Google Sheets, the correct formula would be:
=ArrayFormula(IF(SUM(IF(LEN(TRIM(A3:B3))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A3:C3))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:C3," ",""))+1))>=3,"Good","Bad"))
Please, notice Excel is not the same as Google Sheets so sometimes the formulas may be different in one of them.
This is the problem i am facing in Excel formula
enter image description here
In column F, i want to find the common text across A2 to E2 (containing Blanks)
My Question:
Is there a simple way to get the result without VB?
Any help is appreciated,thanks
I found that google sheets has some really cool functions.
If you put the formula =SPLIT(A1, ",", TRUE,FALSE) in the cell after your row of common text (or probably even in a different sheet - "probably because hadn't tried it, though it should), the next x cells (where x is the number of "," in A1 - because "," is the delimitator) will be the text.
then you can put the code =IF(SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(if(REGEXMATCH($A$1:$D$1,F1),1,0)))=COUNTA($A$1:$D$1),F1,"") into an equal number of cells after that (probably should just put into the max number), and =CONCATENATE(I1:L1) into the last cell.
Ok. So to tweak this for yourself: I found that ARRAYFORMULA lets you put an array in place of a single cell in a function inside. how it exactly works I read its like a for loop. but I can't really vouch for that. but here it lets you have REGEXMATCH (which is a Boolean check on the cell you give it for if it contains the given REGEX) check each cell in the array.
the sum will add them up, and the if will match against the COUNTA to find if the number of cells in the array that contain this string is equal to the number of non-empty cells.
the concatenate at the end adds all the cells (containing the regex function) together, and since the only non-empty cells will be the one with the string, that is what this cell will return (no spaces).

If you need in specifically Excel... this won't help.
We can use power query to achieve the desired result.
Unpivot the columns in Power query
Split all the columns by Comma delimiter
Create a custom column to see if the first column records exist in the remaining columns.
Use the functionText.contains.
Sample function: =Text.Contains([column.1],[column.1]&[column.2]&[column.3])
If the above function returns TRUE then get the first column result(This is the expected result) and load the data back to your excel
I have a list of products with Material no and Text description as visible in Sheet1 image.
Every part of the text has a defined value in another sheet.
How to get result in Sheet1 column C for each product based on its Text description and appropriate values defined in Sheet2?
Let's say I would like to parse the text and for each part of text to determine the value from another sheet and summarize this to one number.
For example:
Material 1 has A B C D in Text, formula should result with 100 => 10+20+30+40 (A=10+B=20+C=30+D=40)
etc...
I know I can use IF to check for each variant then return value with vlookup, but this is something I would like to avoid. Variants will change, their number can be pretty big therefore I would like to avoid changing formulas every time when we change Variants...
Looking by your screenshots you have a version of Excel prior to Micrososft365. In that case I think you can use:
Formula in C2:
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(FIND(" "&E$2:E$11&" "," "&B2&" "))*F$2:F$11)
I want to SUM everything above a cell that contains the word "SUMTOTAL". So if I have 50 columns I want it to go to first row that has the text "SUMTOTAL" in it and then Sum everything aboce that word. Is it possible?
Use a MATCH formula to find the row and minus one from it then use an INDIRECT formula to put together a string of the address then plop it into a sum formula like this:
=SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A" & MATCH("SUMTOTAL",B:B,0)-1))
Assumption:
SUMTOTAL is in column B somewhere
The numbers you want to sum are in column A
Your data starts at row 1.
You are summing ONE column. To expand simply change "A1:A" to "A1:X" if you wanted to sum columns A to X
I assume that all your data is located in A1:N20, and SUMTOTAL appears somewhere inside this area (you can easily change the desired data location). The following formula does the summation of all numbers directly above SUMTOTAL, i.e., in the same column.
=SUM(OFFSET($A$1,0,SUMPRODUCT(COLUMN($A$1:$N$20)*($A$1:$N$20="SUMTOTAL"))-1,SUMPRODUCT(ROW($A$1:$N$20)*($A$1:$N$20="SUMTOTAL"))-1))
If you want to sum all numbers above SUMTOTAL, no matter if in the same column or not, use
=SUM(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,SUMPRODUCT(ROW($A$1:$N$20)*($A$1:$N$20="SUMTOTAL"))-1,COLUMNS($A$1:$N$20)))
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN())))
I have a need to count cells with a particular string of text. I have a list of each string of text to be counted.
I am forming a query using CountIf in the form:
=COUNTIF(C1:C4929,"String")
where every occurrence of 'String' is counted and output.
I would like to show the counts for each string of text in a column alongside the String. I have created a column with one string per cell.
What I would love to be able to do is call the string in the cell into the CountIf function, sort of like:
=COUNTIF(C1:C4929, "Whatever's in the column to the left of this output cell")
But I can't work it out. Am looking and will update here IMMEDIATELY if I work it out.
EDIT:
DONE!
=COUNTIF(C1:C4929,INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0))
Please try =COUNTIF(C1:C4929,"="&D1) copied down from E1, where ColumnD contains your strings.
