How to count the number of times a string occurs in a column.

I am listing team names in a column and want to have a tally at the bottom. In Excel I can use =SUM(IF(range="text",1,0)), but Numbers will not accept a range in that IF statement. ANy suggestions on a formula for his? I know I could create hidden columns and put formulas in all those and hen count them, but that sure seems like a heard way to resolve what should be one formula.
THanks!

Those which took time to read carefully *_iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide_* are aware of the availability of wildcard characters.
=COUNTIFI(range;"=text")
will do the trick.

How do I count the number of times a word appears in a column?

What I have is a spreadsheet logging work history. Let's say the work location is "office", "home", or "travel" and I want to have a separate cell in another table for totals, count up the number of time each appears in the data for the year. So it would look like this:
Date
Location
sept 1
office
sept 2
home
sept 3
home
sept 4
travel
sept 5
office
sept 6
office
sept 7
office
sept 8
travel
sept 9
home
sept 10
office
Totals
Days
10
Office
5
Home
3
Travel
2
I just can't figure out how to develop the formula to put in the Totals column to make it work this way. If you can help me achieve this I'd really appreciate it!

Hi SpartanAntarctican,
Table 1 to record your locations
Date
Location
sept 1
office
sept 2
home
sept 3
home
sept 4
travel
sept 5
office
sept 6
office
sept 7
office
sept 8
travel
sept 9
home
sept 10
office
Table 2 to sum your locations
Totals
Days
10
Office
5
Home
3
Travel
2
In Table 2 the formula in B2
=ROWS(Table 1::A)−1
Minus 1 because there is a Header Row in Table 1.
In Table 2 the formula in B3 (and Fill Down)
=COUNTIF(Table 1::B,A3)
You can check this by adding 5 + 3 + 2 to arrive at 10
Or maybe delete Row 2 put the Days calculation into a Footer Row in Table 2
=SUM(B) .

Ian.

How to calculate the number of times an user has accesed a BEx report

Hi Experts,
We have number of reports in our BW portal and users logon to the portal and run the reports.
How do we count the number of times each user has logged in and ran each report.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi Sai:
I think you can use BI statistics information, which could provide you more detail information.
You can follow the document

Is there a way to count the number of times an array moves from positive to negative?

I have an array of values, and I need to find the number of times that the array changes signs (from positive to negative, or vice versa). In other words from a graphical standpoint, how many times a certain line crosses the x-axis. Counting the number of times the array equals zero does not help however, because the array does not always equal exactly zero when it crosses the axis (ie, the points could move from .1 to -.1).
Thanks for you help. Feel free to email me at [email protected] I only have lv 5.1.1 so if you attach any files, they cannot be version 6.0.

Attached is a VI showing the # of Pos and Neg numbers in an array, with 0 considered as non-Pos. It is easily modifiable to other parameters - including using the X-axis value as your compare point versus only Zero.
This is a modified VI from LV (Separate Array.vi)
Compare this with your other responses to find the best fit.

How to count the number of cycles in sine wave

Hi,
I am new to Labview. I have labview 8.2 version and my dataacquisition is NIDAQPAD6015. I could write a program to generate a sine wave of desired frequency through simulate signal. My question is how do i measure the number of cycles for this sine wave as soon as I run the program. Hope my question is clear.
Ravi Mokirala

To find the offset (which in this case is the Y value midpoint around which the sine wave is symetrical):
Capture more than one cycle. Find the min and max values. Subtract Min from Max and divide by 2. Then subtract this result from the Max value (or add the result to the Min value). This is the offset.
To count the number of cycles where the offset is unknown, just use the first data point value as a reference. If the next data point is more positive, then count the number of times that the first data point is repeated and the next data point is more positive. Of course with DBL data type, you probably would not get the exact same value as the first data point, so you need to use In Range with a very tiny limit. It all depends on your signal amplitude, frequency, and sampling rate.
Example: Lets say your first data point value is 0.5 and the 2nd point is 0.55. You need to look for another value that is between 0.48 and 0.52. Then read the very next data point value. If it is greater than the previous value, add one to the cycle count. If it is less than, you are at half a cycle, do not add to the count.

How to count the number of wins?

I have a tic tac toe simulator that simulates a game of tic tac toe (obviously). I press the 'play' button, and 1 random X and O is placed in 9 of the labels. Then the application says if X or O wins, or if the game was a tie/no winner. So,
what I want to do is when I click the 'exit' button, I want a message box telling the user how many times X won, O won, and how many ties there were. I am not too sure how to count the number of wins.
-Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I could be wrong, but I do not think that is exactly what I am looking for. Here is the code that I have that determines the winner:
switch (checkWinner())
case 'T':
winnerLabel.Text = "It was a tie!";
break;
case 'O':
winnerLabel.Text = "O Wins!";
break;
case 'X':
winnerLabel.Text = "X Wins!";
break;
private char checkWinner()
char WinnerChar = ' ';
int winning_line = 0;
if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[1]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[2]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[3].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[3].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[5]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[3];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[6].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[7]) && GameBoardCellChar[6].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[6];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[3]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[6]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[1].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[1].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[7]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[1];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[5]) && GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[2];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[6]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[2];
winning_line++;
if (winning_line == 0 || winning_line > 1)
WinnerChar = 'T';
return WinnerChar;
Do I have to include something extra in here to get the count or no?

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

How to count the number of rows in a resultser object?

hi there
how to count the number of rows in a resultser object which may contains millions of rows? besides using a while loop? thanks

You don't, you execute a query whose result is the record count of those records that match the search and then you execute the actual query to create your record set. Typically you do
select count(id) from YourTable where [filter]
from the resulting ResultSet do
int res.getInt(1);
which gives you the count and then
select id from YourTable where [filter]
to produce the actual result set.
in the second query the id part can be substituted with the actual fields you want.

Count the number of times a character is in a string using pl/sql

I need to count the number of times ":" appers in the string ":XXX:CCC:BBB:".
I have sound some solution using SQL but I do not want the context switch.
Also I am on 10g so I can not use REGEXP_COUNT.
Any help would be great.

Hi,
length(REGEXP_REPLACE(':XXX:CCC:BBB:','[[:alnum:]]'))counts all kinds of punctuation, spaces, etc., not just colons. Change any (or all) of the colons to periods and it will still return 4. Use '[^:]' instead of '[[:alnum:]]' if you really want to count just colons.
Also, "SELECT ... FROM dual" is usually needed only in SQL*Plus or similar front end tools. In PL/SQL, you can call functions without a query, like this:
x := NVL (LENGTH (REGEXP_REPLACE (txt, '[^:]')), 0);

Fastest way to count the number of occurences of string in file

I have an application that will process a number of records in a plain text file, and the processing takes a long time. Therefore, I'd like to first calculate the number of records in the file so that I can display a progress dialog to the user (e.g. " 1234 out of 5678 records processed"). The records are separated by the string "//" followed by a newline, so all I need to do to get the number of records is to count the number of times that '//' occurs in the file. What's the quickest way to do this? On a test file of ~1.5 Gb with ~500 000 records, grep manages under 5 seconds, whereas a naive Java approach:
BufferedReader bout = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (sourcefile));
               String ffline = null;
               int lcnt = 0;
               int searchCount = 0;
               while ((ffline = bout.readLine()) != null) {
                    lcnt++;
                    for(int searchIndex=0;searchIndex<ffline.length();) {
                         int index=ffline.indexOf(searchFor,searchIndex);
                         if(index!=-1) {
                              //System.out.println("Line number " + lcnt);
                              searchCount++;
                              searchIndex+=index+searchLength;
                         } else {
                              break;
               }takes about 10 times as long:
martin@martin-laptop:~$ time grep -c '//' Desktop/moresequences.gb
544064
real     0m4.449s
user     0m3.880s
sys     0m0.544s
martin@martin-laptop:~$ time java WordCounter Desktop/moresequences.gb
SearchCount = 544064
real     0m42.719s
user     0m40.843s
sys     0m1.232sI suspect that dealing with the file as a whole, rather than line-by-line, might be quicker, based on previous experience with Perl.

Reading lines is very slow. If your file has single byte character encoding then use something like the KMP algorithm on an BufferedInputStream to find the byte sequence of "//\n".getBytes(). If the file has a multi-byte encoding then use the KMP algorithm on a BufferedReader to find the chars "//\n".getCharacters() .
The basis for this can be found in reply #12 of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=769325&messageID=4386201 .
