I am trying to achieve the following, count the no. of t's and place the no. in the adjacent cell, resetting after each set of t's when a blank cell is encountered....basically to count the no. of t's between two blank cells...i am just learning excel...any help would much appreciated
If the t's appear in column A and the count in column B, then simply enter the following formula into cell B2 and copy it down column B,
= if ( a2="t", b1+1,0)
Obviously you should start with blank cells in row 1
If the t's appear in column A and the count in column B, then simply enter the following formula into cell B2 and copy it down column B,= if ( a2="t", b1+1,0)Obviously you should start with blank cells in row 1
thanks guys but may be i did not explain properly, i have the t's in the column and i want the no.s in the next coulmn to be put there by the formula applied to the t column....in other words the colums with no.s is the answer i am looking for..
thanks again

No it doesn't. Can't help you anymore as you don't seem to be able to grasp the basics of writing a formula. eg the formula will give you 1 if there is a " t " in row 2 and will give you 2 if there is another in row 3 etc etc.
