A truncated version of my data is in the form shown in the screenshot below: three columns of 5 unique names. The names appear in any order and in any position but never repeat in a single row.
My goal is to create an array that contains the number of times Adam appears in each row. I can fill down the formula=countif(A2:C2,$I$2) in a new column, or if I write the array manually for each row, it looks like:
={countif(A2:C2,$I$2);countif(A3:C3,$I$2);countif(A4:C4,$I$2);countif(A5:C5,$I$2);countif(A6:C6,$I$2)}
Where cell I2 contains "Adam". Of course, this is not feasible for large data sets.
I know that arrays are effectively cells turned into ranges, but my main issue is that the cell I'm trying to transform already references a range, and I don't know how to tell the software to apply the countif down each row (i.e. I intuitively would like to do something like countif((A2:C2):(A99:C99),"Adam") but understand that's not how spreadsheets work).
My goal is ultimately to perform some operations on the corresponding array but I think I'm comfortable enough with that once I can get the array formula I'm looking for.
