I have data which I need to sort based on certain criteria.
Here are a few examples of the data.
1TT66
32144
24TTT
5T153
36335
TTTTT
44T23
So the data may contain no 'T's' or a number of 'T's'.
These occur randomly in the data.
I need to identify only the following:
Those that contain only 1 'T'
Those that contain no 'T's'
I thought that there might be a formula that could be created that would do this for me, rather than create a number of columns and convoluted maths.
I would be very grateful if someone could give me some direction on this problem.

Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Use SUBSTITUTE "T" for null and check before and after lengths.

I need to identify only the following:
Those that contain only 1 'T'

I show you a couple of options:

In fact, if you use the last option you can use "T" or "t".
A shorter option:

=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("t*t",A2),0),"","Yes")
