Use our Help Desk to send us the file. Please can you advise. You cannot compare a value to a text string. I have a spreadsheet where Column B contains the numbers either 1, 2, or 3.
Can someone help me? You can tell by trying to SUM them. I want to use countifs with a date range but subtract 7 days from the date range use to select my occurrencies. Hi Robert, Can you upload a sample of your data, it will be useful for us to understand your situation.
If the value in O includes a letter e. What am I missing? Hi Eric, A is interpreted by excel as a text string. How would l do that? The formula:. The criteria listed above is all listed in the same column. So the individual cell in the column has one of the four criteria listed above. Here is a copy of one of the columns:. Hi Kyle, Please try the formulas already provided. Thank you, Catalin. I have no clue why, but do you think you can help me with this? Sure we can help you. Please send your file with the offending formula to us via the Help Desk.
I find your tutorials really helpful. In the first example above consider you want to know the number of times Doug sold 8 units in the month of January. I have a similar table where I want to know how many decisions a staff member has made in a certain month. The month is found in the same date structure as in your table. Any suggestions? Cheers, Jo. I am working in a table with 9 columns and 50 rows. Is something wrong with the formula? Looking at your formulas I would expect Columns 6, 8 and 9 to return zero.
I have a table with 9 columns and 50 rows. All cells have countifs formulas that accurately represent the reference data with the exception of the last 2 columnns. The last 2 columns are not pulling in any data even though the countifs formulas are sturectured exactly the same. Since dates are numbers and COUNTA will not count empty cells you can combine both formulas by using a simple subtraction:.
How do I rectify this? It will be so long winded to type these in manually as I have a few to reference. Fiddly but I am not sure Excel will copy correctly in both directions. I am getting a value!
Am I only able to compare single columns? You make everything sound so easy!!! How can I get it to count each entry instead of each date? Try to check your cell format. It might not be dates. Many thanks CarloE What about the below issue, i used countifs but not work with two text creteia in the same column:. Really appreciate your clear instructions on the use of the excel formulas — thanks! And looking at your Example, none would satisfy that.
I could see though that your formula reaches Send your file to Help Desk for a complete picture of your scenario. Thus we can have a better look at it. I have a workbook with several worksheets in it. In the worksheets in different columns I have a reference number. The reference number should not be more than 2 times. Say, once debit and once credit. It is never repeated on the same sheet.
If I get the correct answer, I should be able to drag the formula down so that I get the same result from J3, J4 and so on.
J2 this formula gives me the correct answer 2. But since I have many sheets, have to write the formula for 20 times in each sheet, would appreciate if there is a shorter formula to capture the data from all the sheets. Anyway, please consolidate all your concerns and send me your file through Help Desk with the mock data and the results or formulas you want to achieve.
Column I need to count all 30 above from column A that is starting with 1S because I need to count all Aged items from 2S separately. Thanks much with this Carlo! I need to count the total number of job titles contained in a spreadsheet that do not equal Manufacturing, Agency Manufacturing or Agency Indirect.
You need to make them both the same size. Hi, wow…thank you for your time here on your website. You explain things perfectly! I am trying to learn how to track expiring certificates at work. I also saw how it could be have a color with it. It could turn yellow within 30 days of expiration and red once the day has come and passed. Again thank you for your time, I hope you can point me in the right direction :! I must be missing something? Perhaps you can send me an example.
King Regards, RKM. Can you please tell me how your data is laid out, or even better, send me an example by logging a ticket on the help desk. I just want formula which give me total count of Ram and John. Means I want to know What is the sum of John and Ram. I really appreciate your help. Have agreat day, Dee. You should be able to see curly brackets at either end of the formula when viewed from the formula bar.
Like this:. But hopefully the above formula will work now. I am sorry. I am so grateful for all your help. You sure do know a bunch about formulas. I understand. Usually what people do is send me an edited version of their Excel file thus removing any sensitive information. It counts the first item in the array but not the last 2.
How big is your file? You could email it to me at website myonlinetraininghub. Hi, I have a question on countifs. My data will be to count information like age between , and its city. I need to count 2 columns, with 2 different criteria, on a different spreadsheet, and have the results end on my last page for graphing purposes.
Go here for more on Excel array formulas. I rephrase my previos question to this: Why do you need a sumproduct function at the start of the formula? Click on the first sheet tab and select the cell you want to sum. In the webpage above they are italicised for some reason. Try typing them into Excel again. They should then be a regular font and your formula should work. Alternatively you can download the workbook see links in the post above and use the example in the file.
When referencing other sheets you need to format the reference with apostrophes. Text in double quotes is interpreted by Excel as text as opposed to an operator or other criteria. In Excel you would leave the spaces out :.
Effectively ignoring the double quotes and ampersand. I am trying to write a countifs that says if column b is in a certain date range, count it, which I have written, but I need a second criteria that says if column has one of five location names city, state , then count it.
I have countifs ….. I am trying to write a countifs formula to say if anything in this column is between these dates, count it. I find dates used in criteria a bit frustrating and so I tend to use the serial number version of the date in my formula rather than typing in the text version.
Hi Mynda, I am creating a dashboard report using Excel I am using Conditional formatting and a countcolor functions on the sheet — these all work perfectly. I am having issues with my countif s? If your total number of milestones is variable i. So your formuls would look like this:. Thank you very much Mynda for considering my question. I had got the correct results watching your other helpful hints on Youtube and hence did not check for your response and sorry for the same.
But now I come across another problem because my boss wants to consider End Dates of employee as well. Suppose he joins 01 September and his End Date is 31 December , what could be the changes that should be made in my formula. I hope this makes sense. If not you can send me your Excel workbook and I can send you a specific solution.
Just complete a ticket on the help desk which you'll find a link to on the contact us page. To include 5 and 10 in the count, use the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" operators:.
The same result can be achieved by subtracting one Countif formula from another. The first one counts how many numbers are greater than the lower bound value 5 in this example. The second formula returns the count of numbers that are greater than the upper bound value 10 in this case. The difference between the first and second number is the result you are looking for. Or, you can input your criteria values in certain cells, say F1 and F2, and reference those cells in your formula:.
Suppose, you have a list of projects in column A. You wish to know how many projects are already assigned to someone, i. The criteria can be either for numerical value or string value.
Look at the below example. This is counting cells whose string value starts with "S ". CountIfs function is used to count cells based on multiple criteria separated by comma. To count cells with specific text in Excel, we can use CountIf function.

I need a formula that will count the number of text events in tab 1, column B, between two dates. I cannot get the countifs function to work. An Excelchat Expert solved this problem in 20 mins!
I have a list of numbers with 0's between example: 1 2 0 3 4 0 5 6 0 and I need list only the numbers above the 0's and not duplicate the first number. I need a formula to tell me how many cells in a column are between two numbers e.
