Counting how many times an option is selected inside a loop

I am trying to create a piece of code that will display how many times an option from the list has been selected. I have a loop that will keep occuring until the user has finished inputting the data. Here is a section of that code.

for k = 1:1:A(w,2)

normal=normal+1;

list = {'Resident','Education','Office','Toilet','Storage'};

[indx,tf] = listdlg('PromptString',sprintf('On Floor %d what spaces are used ',w)...

,'SelectionMode','single','ListString',list);

typeofspace = list{indx};

Thanks

You could track the selections with an array like

list = {'Resident','Education','Office','Toilet','Storage'};
count = zeros(size(list))

for kk = ...
    [indx,tf] = listdlg(...)
    count(indx) = count(index)+1;
end
