Marking repeating or both in corresponding cell based on the criteria - vba

Question

i have a sheet in excel which have two columns Col "A" & Col "B"
in col "A" i have values like 1,1,1 - 3 times & 2,2,2,2 - 4 times
and in col "B" i have yes, yes, yes corresponding to column A value 1,1,1 &
yes, no ,yes no corresponding to column "A" value 2,2,2,2 as shown in the image.
now i want to add some values in col "C" based on codition like
if col "A" 1,1,1 all values are yes in col "B" then put SOME TEXT LIKE "repeating" in Col "C" in front of every value of col"A"
and if col "A" 2,2,2,2 all values are different like yes, no, yes , no in col "B" then put SOME TEXT LIKE "both" in Col "C" in front of every value of col"A"
for example see below image.-
-it will check all the similar values in col "A" First suppose it will take "1" first then it will check its corresponding value in col "B" and it will keep on checking all of the values of "1" in col"B" if all values are "yes" then it will simply put "repeating" in col"C" in front of every "1"
-but again it will check for all the values of "2" in col"B" if all values are "yes" then it will simply put "repeating" in col"C" in front of every "2" but as you can see all values are not same in front of "2" some are "yes" and some are "no" in col"B" so if all values of "2" are not same in col "B" then it will put "both in col"C" in front of every "2"
i want to know is there any formula for doing this or vba code is needed . please help me regarding this.

If you have Excel 2016 you can use COUNTIFS nested in an IF like:
Countifs will count the values based on two criteria.
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$7,A1)=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$7,A1,$B$1:$B$7,B1),"Repeating","Both")
You can nest a third condition like this:
=IF(B1="may be","Confirm",IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$9,A1)=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$9,A1,$B$1:$B$9,B1),"Repeating","Both"))
Explanation:
The formula consists of two conditional IFnested:
The first IF(B1="may be","Confirm" evaluates if B1 = "may be" when is
true it returns "Confirm".
when is false start the second IF to compare one condition:
COUNTIF($A$1:$A$9,A1) - Countsif function counts values in a range
based on one condition. In this case, the criteria are each cell in
column A and count how many times are this value in the range
$A$1:$A$9.
COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$9,A1,$B$1:$B$9,B1) - Countifs function counts
values in a range based on multiple conditions. In this case, it is
counting based on two criteria for each value in A and B.
Evaluating second conditional:
For C1:
COUNTIF($A$1:$A$9,A1) = 3 3 times the value (1) in the range
$A$1:$A$9.
COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$9,A1,$B$1:$B$9,B1) = 3 3 times the values (1) and (yes).
So, if 3 = 3 then "Repeating".
For C4:
COUNTIF($A$1:$A$9,A4) = 4 4 times the value (2) in the range
$A$1:$A$9.
COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$9,A4,$B$1:$B$9,B4) = 2 2 times the values (2) and (yes).
So, if 4 = 2 is false it returns "Both".
