Table count based on a list

HI, 

 

I have a number of people who've responded to a survey, saying the region in which they live, and then the key townships they visit. 


I want to display that data in a way that shows what towns people visit. 


I have responses by column, and I want to run a countif ( i think)  on the table, showing how often the townships occur. I can't seem to figure out a way without doing it manually? 

 

 

  • bhopenz Perhaps a simple COUNTIF is enough. Have converted the table with the answers to a structured table, by the way. Then you can reference the entire table by its name and count the occurrences for each of the listed townships.
