Hello,
I am having an issue with creating a Word 2010 formula that provides a count of the specific values found in the column of a table. The basic details are below.
The column may contain the following distinct values:
Off Duty
Limited Duty
Returned to Regular Work
I would like to create individual formulas (in three different cells) that count the number of times that each string occurs. For instance, the example output would be:
Off Duty: 5
Limited Duty: 7
Returned to Regular Work: 12
I understand how to handle this in Excel using the COUNTIF function. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Word has the same function.
I'm certain that it is easier than I'm making it...I appreciate any and all suggestions!
Word has no in-built functions for counting text values in a table - only fields for numeric values. You could embed an Excel worksheet in your document and have access to all of Excel's functionality.
Cheers,
