Counting number of times text appears in column
Hi there
Hope someone can help me out 🙂
I'm trying to create a questionnaire which directs users to the platform they should post their content to on our internal websites. e.g.
Do you want your content available on mobile?" Yes returns "Platform A, Platform C or Platform D" and No returns "Platform B and Platform E"
Do you want your content to be liked and shared?" Yes returns "Platform C or Platform D" and No returns "Platform A, Platform B or Platform E"
and so on, for around six more questions
How would I crate a formula to analyse the frequency of terms in the cells and return the result in a single cell? So if Platform A crops up in the results column most, that's displayed as overall the best platform to post to.
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks!

It seems very similar to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Excel/Count-the-Number-of-Unique-Values-That-Also-Match-a-Value-in/m-p/1047556.
If it is not could you please provide a sample of your data and the expected result.
