- What am I missing? I'm using Excel 4.0 to keep track of my students' grades.
- I have a column of letter grades. What I want to do is create a simple
- distribution; that is, tell me how many A's, how many B's, etc. I have found
- two complicated ways to do this: 1) use the Crosstab plug-in (complicated,
- confusing, and slooooooow), or 2) use DCOUNT on a database *but* you can only
- do that for one grade at a time. I can't believe that there isn't a simple
- function like HOWMANY(range,what_to_look_for). What am I missing?
