About Count

Count frequency of unique values in a column.

Value Counter scans a single column and tallies how many times each distinct value appears, returning a sorted frequency table. It's the fastest way to answer "what are the most common entries here?" without writing a formula or building a pivot table.

Useful for spotting the most popular category in a survey, the most frequent error code in a log file, or a handful of unexpected values hiding among thousands of rows.

Common Use Cases

  • Finding the most common support ticket category
  • Counting how many times each error code appears in a log export
  • Checking answer distribution on a multiple-choice survey column

Key Features

  • Frequency Table Output
  • Sort by Count Ascending/Descending
  • Single-Column Selection
  • Export as CSV

Run Count to see which values dominate a column, then cross-check with Uniqueness if you need to know how many values are truly distinct versus just frequent, or use Statistics for numeric-column summaries instead of category tallies.
