Question

How to get the number of rows which includes A, AA, AAA, AB, AAC etc.? On the following example result is 2. If the same row has A on different shapes on many cells it's only calculated as one.

Cell A1: AA, B1: A, A2: AAABABC, A3: BC

The following only calculates if rows has one A but not rows with AA or AAA

=SUM(--(MMULT(--(A1:C10="A"); TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(A1:C10)))>0))

The following calculates how many A's one row has but not the amount of rows.

=SUMPRODUCT((LEN($A1:$C10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1:$C10;"A";"")))/LEN(1))

Answer 1

If you just want to count how many rows contain at least one A, it should just be a slight alteration to your MMULT formula:

=SUM(--(MMULT(--(ISNUMBER(FIND("A",A1:C10))), TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(A1:C10)))>0))

entered as an Array formula using Ctrl Shift Enter .
