Find the number of occurences of diffrent individuales in a cell array

If there is a cell array that is bulit from 2 columns in this manner - the first column containing indexing numbering 1...N, and the second one has strings.

How can I check how many times, each index is matched to a string?

Example of the cell array:

{[1]} {'Dad'}

{[1]} {'Dad'}

{[1]} {'Mom'}

{[1]} {'Me'}

{[1]} {'Me'}

{[1]} {'Mom'}

{[2]} {'Brother'}

{[2]} {'Mom'}

{[2]} {'Dad'}

{[2]} {'Sister'}

{[2]} {'Sister'}

{[2]} {'Sister'}

.

.

.

{[68]} {'Me'}

{[68]} {'Mom'}

{[68]} {'Brother'}

{[68]} {'Mom'}

{[68]} {'Dad'}

{[68]} {'Sister'}

{[68]} {'Me'}

{[68]} {'Sister'}

Thanks in advance!

I'd probably use some of these functions: contains(), ismember(), strfind(), strcmpi(). Good luck.

It would sure be a whole lot easier to provide you with a turnkey solution if you upload your cell array in a .mat file with the paperclip icon AFTER you read the posting guidelines (which you apparently skipped):
