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

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.
