Hi all,

I'm trying to calculate the frequency a value is used in a formula. I have a range of results (ranging numerically from 1-9) each connected to a topic/subject. I have created a cell which identifies the largest number amongst those results in every row (=LARGE(S5:AN5,{1{)).

What i'm trying to calculate is the frequency of which particular topics/subjects are identified as the largest.

e.g. in row 5, '9' is identified as the highest value. This is under the subject 'Computing'. In row 6, '8' is identified as the largest number and this is under the subject 'History'. What i'd like to know is how frequently 'History' or 'Computing' is identified as the largest value in the set of results.

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]History[/TD]
[TD]Biology[/TD]
[TD]Computing[/TD]
[TD]Maths[/TD]
[TD]Geography[/TD]
[TD]Art[/TD]
[TD]HIGHEST[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]6[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]9[/TD]
[TD]9[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]6[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]6[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

So I want a table like:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]History[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Biology[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Computing[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Maths[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Geography[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Art[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Any advice about formulas etc would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Change your ranges to match. Note that if there's a tie, like on row 7 here with Maths and Art, both will be counted.
