  1. B1/A1-1

  2. how i can count multiple criteria in a single range based on other two conditions using countifs??

  3. Please help – I have a working formula that’s counting three specific criteria from a report (see formula below). I have hundreds of different specific criteria combos that I’ll be counting and would like to avoid having to type all the different criteria combos directly into each formula.

    How can I use cell references instead of typing them? I tried several different things, but unable to get it to work.

    Company1 – Names will be in a fixed cell on the results page – D1
    Department1 – Names will be in a fixed cell on the results page – E1
    Account Type1 – The results page is by account type and all the account types are in the column – A3, A4, A5 (type one is A3)

    =COUNTIFS('Report'!$C:$C,"=Company1",'Report'!$K:$K,"=Department1",Report'!$J:$J,"=Account Type1")

  4. Thank you so much for your tutorials, it's really very much useful in work life.

  42. Come up with dummy data for the following: Quiz-I and Quiz-II, Assign-I and Assign-II as
    well as capturing data for CAT. The total for all these components should add up to 40%
    (Course Work), Exam weight is 60% (but given out of 90) and Grand total is 100%. Use
    appropriate functions for analyses of these results. Grade the students as follows:
    Marks Grade Accreditation:
    72% and Above A DISTINCTION
    65 – 71 B UPPER CREDIT
    55 – 64 C LOWER CREDIT
    45 – 54 D PASS
    44 and Below F FAIL
    All the Quizzes were given out of 45, Assigns were given out of 60 and the CAT was given
    out of 55. The relative weight for the two Quizzes is 6% each; 8% each Assign and 12% for
    the CAT. Grade the Students using the IF function. Use the COUNTIF or LOOKUP function
    to compute grade summary for the test. Format the sheet (The data should have at least forty
    (30) entries). Print a copy with formulas displayed and another copy with actual data.

  50. Hello,
    I was wondering if you could help me please - I need to create a formula that counts the number of times there is an overdue date in column I, where the corresponding cell in column J is blank.
    A date is entered into column H (date appointed), there is a formula to auto-fill column I (date due) which is =IF(ISBLANK(H6), " ", EDATE(H6,6))
    There is also conditional formatting on column I which turns the date red if it meets this criteria. =AND($I6<TODAY(), $J6="")
    An entry into column J (date reviewed) results in the conditional formatting being removed, so that it returns to black.
    I need to create a formula to count the number of dates in column I which are older than today but only if the corresponding cell in column J is blank.
    I have tried =COUNTIFS(I6:I260,"<TODAY()",J6:J260,""&"""") but suspect it is counting the auto-fill formula in column I. Please help!!!!
    thanks
