    maybe this:

    1 .i want to find out what rows have the highest numbers in column 2
    I use Conditional Formatting so row with highest value will be red.
    You can also filter out (in row 2 is filter) that rows (or any other)

    2. how many times the string "qq" appear in column 1
    Change letters in H1 (now is "nn". Put "qq")

    Edit: Sorry, I put in formula in I1 to look in C column. Change it to look in A column.

    Formula: copy to clipboard
