Hi all,

I'd like to get your support to keep 1 "a" & 1 "b" in 1 cell of each column while balance should be deleted. (I'd like to get result by using excel formular).
Thank you in advance.

Column 1Column 2
a, a, a, ab, b, b
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Something like this?
