I have tried regression analysis but I think that my dataset is not suited for this, appreciate if anyone can point me in right direction

I'm not sure that any of our regular contributors are expert enough in statistics to recommend a specific statistical test.
We are good at Excel, but not always as good at the specific field being explored. I expect that, if you help us understand the desired statistical test, we will be able to help you program that test in the spreadsheet.
Recognizing that your data is categorical, a quick internet search found this Wikipedia page with a long list of analyses for categorical data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tegorical_data Of these tests, I recognize the Chi-squared (sometimes called Pearson's Chi-squared) test and some of the multinomial distribution tests -- probably because these are often where introductory statistics students will start in analyzing categorical data (not necessarily because these are the best analyses for any one data set). If, as a beginner to statistical analysis, you have no idea where to begin, I would probably recommend starting with those.
Whatever analysis you decide to apply, I expect that most of them will want to start with some kind of frequency count for each category. In Excel/other spreadsheets, this will probably be a COUNTIFS() function: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tegorical_data
