Hey fishies, looking for some help with the below

I have 4 lots of data categories which are assigned a code in the adjacent cell
Eg:
Cell A2= 'xyz' Cell B2 = 'w1'
Cell C2= 'ghi' Cell D2 = 'x1'
Cell E2= 'plm' Cell F2 = 'y1'
Cell G2= 'mhn' Cell H2 = 'z1'

The combination of the 'W','X','Y' and 'Z' codes identity a specific trend
I am extracting data which includes multiple combinations of these codes. What is the best way to show frequency of the codes against the category it is assigned to

Concatenate them into 1 column then add in a simple pivot table?

Not quite clear on what you need. I wonder if the functions left() and right () would help you? This way you could split up those codes and use sumif() to get totals of different combinations?

Unclear what you are asking. Are you just trying to flag any cells that have the letter ‘w’ in it? Or are you trying to count w’s in each cell?

If the former, Maybe try =find()?

If the latter you are looking at something a bit more complex.

Make sure you add a check if you do use the sim if route. You want to make sure that all of the sumif() results equal the number of data points.

Is this okay?
