problem with lookup, count several string in one (or more) columns.

problem with lookup, count several string in one (or more) columns.

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

I tried to follow the instructions found in
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-lookups.html

So I want to count all strings NP MH  in the following table
According to the instructions, the following will search the string MH.

| group | round 1 | round 2 |
|-------+---------+---------|
| A     |         |     2.4 |
| B     | 4.7     |      11 |
| C     |         |      MH |
| D     | 5       |         |
| E     |         |     7.2 |
| F     | 3.2     |     4.3 |
| G     | NP      |     4.4 |
| H     | NP      |       8 |
| I     | NP      |       8 |
|-------+---------+---------|
| total | MH      |       1 |
#+TBLFM: @>$3='(length(org-lookup-all "MH" '(@2$2..@-1$3) nil));

So I could repeat that for the string NP as well but how can I search
for both (or more) strings at once?

What about

#+TBLFM: @>$3='(+ (length(org-lookup-all "NP" '(@2$2..@-1$3) nil)) (length(org-lookup-all "MH" '(@2$2..@-1$3) nil)));

?

You mean

| group | round 1 | round 2 |
|-------+---------+---------|
| A     |         |     2.4 |
| B     | 4.7     |      11 |
| C     |         |      MH |
| D     | 5       |         |
| E     |         |     7.2 |
| F     | 3.2     |     4.3 |
| G     | NP      |     4.4 |
| H     | NP      |       8 |
| I     | NP      |       8 |
|-------+---------+---------|
| total | MH      |       4 |
#+TBLFM: @>$3='(+ (length(org-lookup-all "NP" '(@2$2..@-1$3) nil)) (length(org-lookup-all "MH" '(@2$2..@-1$3) nil)));

That gives

| total | MH      |  4       |


But I want


| total | MH | 1 |
| total | NP | 3 |

Yes.

Agreed.

Okay.

What about the following?

 | group | round 1 | round 2 |
 |-------+---------+---------|
 | A     |         |     2.4 |
 | B     | 4.7     |      11 |
 | C     |         |      MH |
 | D     | 5       |         |
 | E     |         |     7.2 |
 | F     | 3.2     |     4.3 |
 | G     | NP      |     4.4 |
 | H     | NP      |       8 |
 | I     | NP      |       8 |
 |-------+---------+---------|
 | total | MH      |         |
 | total | NP      |         |
#+TBLFM: @>>$3='(length(org-lookup-all "MH" '(@2$2..@-1$3) nil))::@>$3='(length(org-lookup-all "NP" '(@2$2..@-2$3) nil))

Or the sightly more general formula afaics:

#+TBLFM: @>>$3='(length(org-lookup-all "MH" '(@2$2..@-I$3) nil))::@>$3='(length(org-lookup-all "NP" '(@2$2..@-I$3) nil))

Great thanks a lot.
