    How to count occurrence of specific text in columns (from a survey)

    I am an excel novice so please excuse, this is my first post.

    I have done a survey of parents rating different teachers in my programme. Teacher names are in column E and satisfaction ratings are in column J e.g. “Very satisfied”, “satisfied” etc.

    I need to count the number of different responses for each teacher. The responses are all on a different sheet called “Responses”.

    So I need the formula to say something like this:

    In the sheet “Responses”, look in column E and find teacher 1, then count how many times teacher 1 scored “Very satisfied” in column J.

    An answer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum

    Have you considered using a Pivot Table?
    It can be made in a few seconds and avoids the need for formulae altogether.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
