Google Sheets - QUERY to give a total number of times a class is listed

I am looking for help with creating a QUERY to give a total number of times a class is listed. Thank you so much for any help. My head hurts from banging it against a wall trying to solve this.

Spreadsheet has a column for:

- Clan Name ( 1 of the 3 clan names are in the column cell per row. clanA, clanB, clanC)
- Class (1 class per cell per row. choice of classA, classB, classC, classD, classE, classF)

Example Workbook:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10aJdqZx6q99QahM1O2XbZhZFNcbkGEE0tIifrMIDGjs/edit?usp=sharing"

Trying to craft a query that will give a result like this:

| Clan Name | Class | Total per Class |
| --------- | ----- | --------------- |
| clanA |classA | # |
| |classB | # |
| clanB |classA | # |

Example Data Set:

Example of outcome:

Administrative Note:

Please attach a sample workbook. We cannot work with a picture.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

(Note: this change is not optional. As you are inexperienced here, I have done it for you this time.)

HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:


Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Maybe I can't help you with the problem since it is Google.sheets.

@ oeldere,

Google sheets QUERY () requires a google sheets file. isnt a Google Sheets file suitable for that? or do you expect everyone helping to download an excel file, then upload and convert it to a Google Sheets file just so you have the pleasure of having an excel file which can not itself work with QUERY() function?

@janmorris

Google sheets QUERY () requires a google sheets file.

OP can attache a google sheet file.

Maybe right

a google sheets link works fine for those who can.

to get you up to speed, .gsheet files are simply links to the actual online file, so downloading a file is as useful as udders on a bull.
