    Indication of frequent occurrence of certain text in a time interval

    Hello,

    I need a help. I'd like to ask if it's possible indication of frequent occurrence of certain text in a time interval.

    I'll use the example...I have a table in which I write certain data based on data validation (I attached a simple table for an example).

    I'd like to know how often for example the color of the car "blue" or type of engine "diesel" appears for the reporting period in the table (say in three months).

    At the same time, I wonder if it is possible to indicate too often writing individual attributes. For example, If I write a blue car more than four times in two months, I get a warning in the form of color coding.

    I hope I wrote it so that the question makes sense.

    Thank you for any advice

    David

    If you want to "for the reporting period in the table " see how Pivot Table can help, See file attached

    At the same time, I wonder if it is possible to indicate too often writing individual attributes. For example, If I write a blue car more than four times in two months, I get a warning in the form of color coding.
    A conditional Format can do the job , can you update your Excel Sample with some results you want

    Re: Indication of frequent occurrence of certain text in a time interval

    I haven't realized that I can display the frequency with Pivot Table...my mistake.

    I'm not sure if I can attache privat work file and it's in czech language so I guess you won't understand the problem so good.

    Basically columns E, F, and G are important to me in the attached file. I created a maintanance records when I have three levels of work (building, place and machine). I modified the attached
    file to the specific problem.

    For example, suppose I need to know indicate an increased number of repairs over a period. It's the black highlighted data in the yellow row for example (one in column F and two in column G).

    Thank you very much for any help.

    Re: Indication of frequent occurrence of certain text in a time interval

    I thought conditional formatting based on frequency indications over a period was so specific that it would be necessary to use a macro.

    If I could make my request using a conditional formatting formula, then my question probably doesn't belong to the VBA category. Anyway I don't know how to do it in classic conditional formatting.

    Can you help me with that please?

    Please show with the second file you sent what you want to do:
    Highlight cells OK but what are the condition => show the display you want vs the inputs

    Note your file does not cover a 2 months range ...! how to prepare format ?
