Counting cells based on values

DHB

I have some data that looks a bit like this;

 

IDValue
a1
b4
c2
d1
e3
f2
g2
h1

 

i'd like to calculate the number of ID's with a Value of 1 or more (all of them), 2 or more (5), 3 or more (2) and 4 or more (1).   It seems like it should be fairly straightforward but I'm struggling a little.  I'm trying to use the summarise tool.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi @DHB

 

The most direct way would be to put 4 filters in for each of your thresholds and then a summarize tool after which counts the number of IDs coming out of the true output.

 

I packaged this approach up into a batch macro so you can enter a list of thresholds as another input to save repeating the tools four times.

 

If anybody else has another way of doing it without a macro I'd be interested to see it!

Thank you for your solution Bolide.  It worked perfectly.

A non-macro approach would be: (1) sort on value descending, (2) apply record ID, (3) Summarize grouping by value and selecting max(RecordID), which hopefully will be the count you're after:
