Hi,

 

I have the following table:

col1

dis2

dis3

DIS

VisCode

Vis

InCode

In

1

        

2

3

  

Y

  

2

Y

3

    

6

Y

  

4

 

5

 

Y

    

5

      

5

Y

6

        

7

  

7

Y

    

 

I want to write a code to return number of "Y"s for each column.

 

For example the output should be something like this:

DIS:3

Vis:1

In:2

 

I would appreciate your help.

 

best regards,

 

Nazanin
