what code?

[Jack Sons]

Hi all,

In colums A to M the a number of cells (say 1 to 20 at most) contain coded
information like B45K of 345Tgd or contain nothing.
Example (hope it will not be garbled by transmission):

A B C D E F
G H I
er34 g67BB 12E HNG33 78R4E er34 12E
12E AAA KHG5 K8K9 K8K9
12E nwG 12E er34
HNG33 12E er34

In each column I want to show only the unique information with the number of
times it occurs in that column, so the above example it would result in
this:

A B C D
E F G H I
er34 ( 1 ) g67BB ( 1 ) 12E ( 2 ) HNG33 ( 2 ) 78R4E
( 1 ) er34 ( 3 ) 12E ( 1 )
12E ( 1 ) AAA ( 1 ) KHG5 ( 1 )
K8K9 ( 1 ) K8K ( 1 )
nwG
( 1 ) 12E ( 2 )

I'm looking for code to accomplish this, your assistance will be
appreciated.

This should be close... It runs against the active sheet createing a new
sheet as you have described.

Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rngStart As Range
Dim rngPaste As Range
Dim wksNew As Worksheet
Dim rngColumns As Range

Set rngColumns = ActiveSheet.Range("A2:H2")
Set wksNew = Worksheets.Add
Set rngPaste = wksNew.Range("A2")

For Each rngStart In rngColumns
Set rng = rngStart

Do While Not IsEmpty(rng.Value)
If Application.CountIf(Range(rngStart, rng), rng.Value) = 1 Then
rngPaste.Value = rng.Value & " (" & _
Application.CountIf(rng.EntireColumn, rng.Value) & ")"
Set rngPaste = rngPaste.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Set rng = rng.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
Set rngPaste = wksNew.Cells(2, rngPaste.Column + 1)
Next rngStart

End Sub

Thanks Jim, it's now three quarters to midnight, I hope to try it tomorrow.
By the way, after I copy the result to the sheet where it belongs, how do I
get rid of the extra sheet?

Jack.

Jim,

The results are:

er34 (1) g67BB (1) 12E (2) HNG33 (2) 78R4E
(1) er34 (1) 12E (1)
(1) 12E (1) AAA (1) KHG5 (1) K8K9
(1) K8K9 (1)
(1)
(1) nwG (1) 12E (2) er34 (2)


I prefer the format: originalstring space ( space number space )
I hope you understand what I mean: in stead of er34 (1) I want
er34 ( 1 )

Also I would like the code to get rid of the superfluous or false (sorry for
my poor English) results like " (1)", " (1)"
I mean the results like the second result in the first column, and the third
results in de second column and third column.

Please be so kind as to explain what element of the code causes the
differing number of spaces between the original string and the first bracket
"(" and what causes the superfluous results, I hope to lear from it.

Again thanks in advance.

Jack.
