Counts of various valid value instances within 1 column

Hi,

 

I have a file that has 10 valid values that could show up in any combination of 1-10 of them. The various valid values are: 1. Incorrect Information, 2. Customer Service, 3. Resolution Efforts, 4. Spelling/Grammar, 5. System Notes, 6. Untimely Follow-Up, 7. Clinical Eligible, 8. Vendor Eligible, 9. Other or 10. N/A.

Because 1 cell may have 1 of these values and another cell may have 3 and another could have all 10 values, I cannot use Transpose/CRosstab/Summary to get counts. I thought that I could use the multi-field formula tool to look for existence and apply a 1 and then create a new column for each value but am getting a parse error at char (75):

 

Is this even possible?

 

At the end of the day, I know that I have 276 instances of "Incorrect Information" and would like to be able to get unique counts where I could then use the Summarize tool to give me totals by agent.

 

Thanks!

A sample Input and desired output would be better for us to take a closer look.

My wild guess is that we can use the "Text to Column" tool first to parse the data first, based on your delimter.

Thanks, Qiu. That got me to where I was trying to get (I keep forgetting that that also converts text to ROWS :))
