Find the frequency for how many times each unique word is listed

Copper Contributor

Hi, I have a list of text that is 10,372 rows.

 

Using the formula: =COUNTA(UNIQUE(A2:A10376)) , I have found that there are 1672 unique words, and using the formula: =UNIQUE(A2:A10376) have a  text list of the unique words.

 

Is there a way / formula to see how many times each unique word is listed (i.e. the frequency of each word)?

 

I am hoping to avoid manually searching for each unique word!

 

Thank you.

=COUNTIF(A$2:A$10376,C3) copy formula downn
Or: Try Pivot Table

The easiest method would be inserting a Pivot Table and then drag the Topics field in the Row area and drag the same Topics field again in the Values area. That would show you a report of all the unique Topics and their counts.

Alternatively, with data in A1:A15

in C1:

=LET(
    range,  A1:A15,
    unique, UNIQUE(range),
    CHOOSE({1;2}, unique, COUNTIF(range,unique))
)
