I am new to Excel and have a problem. The problem is that I have data that is laid across rows of the spreadsheet. i.e +=====+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+== | | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R +=====+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+== | DA1 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 8 | 5 | 8 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 3 +=====+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+== | DA2 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 9 | 4 | 9 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 7 | 3 +=====+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+== | DA3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 +=====+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+== What I need to know is how can I find out how many '5's I have in a row, or how many '7's I have in a row. I tried DCOUNT but only seems to work on columns and not rows. I tried to TRANSLATE the database and then use the out put to do a DCOUNT. This method fails if the numbers in the database change. What I need is a mechanism to count the number of occurances in a row of a particular number. The HISTOGRAM plots the data nicely but what I want is to put the count into another cell. Appreciate any help. -- +----------------+------------------------------+------------------------+ | Kalpit Desai | BNR Inc., | Voice: (919) 991 7902 | | kdesai@bnr.ca | Research Triangle Park | FAX: (919) 991 7001 | | | North Carolina 27709, U.S.A | ESN: 294 7902 | +----------------+------------------------------+------------------------+
