sorting text to reveal occurrence of adjective
This has probably been addressed but I need a quick and simple answer. I want to sort or filter the adjectives to show how many times each is listed and if there are duplicates
If you call the array of adjectives 'attribute' then
= COUNTIFS(attribute, attribute)
gives a similar dimensioned array with the count of occurrences for each adjective.
= SUM( 1 / COUNTIFS(attribute, attribute) )
is the number of distinct adjectives used in the table. To go further, a list of distinct options from which the adjectives are drawn would help.
= COUNTIFS(attribute, list)
provides a count of each adjective. The two column result can be sorted and filtered using
= SORT(FILTER(result, count>0), 2,-1)
The final formula may mean it is time to take a license 365!
