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..

Try the formula .
It will do what you want.

it just puts a 1 opposite a t and not the subtotal...eg eg 2 t's in a row =2 etc

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.

hello fine as frog.....i have been given the solution in poker forum however i am trying to do a sum of the numbers in the column but it won't work whereas if i type in the no.s in a separate column and use the sum function it works fine...any advice welcome....please be gentle as I have only started using excel recently and learning as i go along...thank you
