I have 2 sheet in a excel file. one is a Dictionary sheet and 2nd is a sheet containing a column of text. I want to match the dictionary keywords columns one by one and then the number of match keywords counts in each cell of the text column.
I have tried these formulas: =(LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,Sheet1!A:A,"")))/LEN(Sheet1!A:A) in this B2 is the first (start) cell of the text column and Sheet1!A:A is the dictionary column of other sheet. but by this i get zero as a result
=(LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,Sheet1!A:A,"")))/LEN(Sheet1!A:A)
The result will be like this:
Text number_of_keyword_match | number_of_keyword_match using DIC col 2 | ........
using DIC col 1
1 any Text or sentence/sentences e.g match "3"
2 7
3 0
4 15
5 .................................................
7 .....................................................
.......................................................
..................................continue up to 2815 rows....

I would consider countif(), as an example:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A10,Sheet1!A1)
which assumes your list starts in cell A1 on sheet1 and your text in cell a1 on sheet2.
To drag the formula as I showed it, without the data range moving you need :
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A$1:A$10,Sheet1!A1)
if you put $ before the letters, then the columns don't move.

Assuming your text input looks like this:
| A |
-+----------------------+
1|apple apple beat beat |
2|apple beat beat carrot|
3|carrot apple apple |
and your dictionary looks like this:
| A | B |
-+-------+-------+
1|apple |beat |
2|beat |carrot |
3| | |
This formula will give you the count per word per cell of text
=(LEN(text!A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text!A1,dictionary!A1,"")))/LEN(dictionary!A1)
(In this example 2
)
If I understand correctly, your expected output would be extra columns in the text
sheet where each cell contains the sum of counts of each word in the corresponding column in dictionary
, right? For example:
| A | B | C |
-+----------------------+---+---+
1|apple apple beat beat | 4 | 2 |
2|apple beat beat carrot| 3 | 3 |
3|carrot apple apple | 2 | 1 |
You can use array formulas to do this, starting with this one in cell B1:
=SUM(IFERROR((LEN(text!$A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text!$A1;dictionary!A:A;"")))/LEN(dictionary!A:A);0))
But instead of pressing Enter
after pasting it in, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
to run it as an array formula. Then drag this formula down and to the right to get all the counts you want.
