If the user's settings are incorrect, the results may therefore be wrong. One solution is to include prominently in the spreadsheet a check that the settings are correct. For example:. Dates are stored internally as numbers and can thus be compared easily. For example, to count the number of cells in A1:A6 between two dates, you could use:. If you express the dates with slashes e. However, be aware that in one country this text may be converted to 1Feb05 and in another to 2Jan To add up the largest 3 numbers in A1:A5 , the most straightforward method is to enter:.
To add up the largest 4 numbers say , use In this function, we also created the groups i. Here we used the seq function that can be used to generate a sequence of numbers in R.
Finally, we used the summarise function to get the number of occurrences in the column, binned. For each bin, the range of age values is the same: 11 years. One contains ages from 11 to The next bin contains ages from 22 to However, we also see that there are a different number of persons in each age range. This enables us to see that most people, that are arrested are under the age of 22 Now this kind of makes sense, in this case, right?
In this post, you have learned how to use R to count the number of occurrences in a column. Moreover, you have learned how to calculate the relative frequency of factor levels in a column. Furthermore, you have learned how to count the number of occurrences in different bins, as well. Hey there! Thanks for your comment. I am glad you found the post helpful and I hope you learned how to count the number of occurrences in a column in R with dplyr. Best, Erik. I tried to use dplyr like you did it with my own data frame that also contains a column with 2 different characters.
But when I applied the dplyr, I receive this message:. I am not entirely sure why this happens to you. It might be due to that. You were entirely right. The error occured because I misspelled the name of my data frame. Of course, if I add the correct name, the dplyr option works perfectly fine. Your email address will not be published.

Just do table dat — Simon O'Hanlon. SimonO, table dat will give you an array with dims c 2, 2, 3 unless I'm missing something.
Show 3 more comments. I think this could be a bit misleading or easy to misinterpret because you do not have values 2 and 3 in the data in type , nor 0 in axe. You can use count from plyr package.

The Overflow Blog. Does ES6 make JavaScript frameworks obsolete? I mention them only to clarify the results. That result is then divided by criteria. However, the matrix fails to give a complete picture. We can clearly see that at least one value has five records but the matrix doesn't reflect that. The matrix is only as good as its header row.
We can extend that row, but how far will be enough? Figure C shows the expression:. By referring to the actual results, the expression guarantees that all possibilities are accounted for. The matrix could do this too if you knew ahead of time how far to extend it. Fortunately, ESP isn't a requirement for conditionally counting counts. On the down side, the expression in column D might confuse users who don't understand its purpose.
Column C displays the count and column D displays the number of times that "count" is repeated. Table A gives a quick review. I suggest that you not include the counting columns when sharing the data with others. This solution helps you glean information that might be meaningful if presented in another format.
