Help Me PLEASE !!!!

ok i have to get this figured out by monday (crossing fingers)...

what i need to accomplish is this.. an im a beginner at excel. somebody reccomended me to it but doesnt know how to use it.


Example:
column --> A.....B.....C......D..... E......F

row1 01 23 33 44 51 12
row2 55 32 27 17 42 20
row3 01 29 47 18 51 12

if i place double digit numbers under each column. and repeating this about 300 times.. is there a way to tell say how many times the number 01 shows up in column A? also to figure out the rest of the columns ??

what about it telling you which number shows up the most ?
