  21. For the above . . . Formula 1. Add up two or more COUNTIF or COUNITFS formulas - Am using the same data on the screen, but get 7 . . . not 6 as shown in the screen-print?

    1. Hi,
      I used below formula:
      =COUNTIFS(Tickets!B:B,"ICT_W*")+(COUNTIFS(Tickets!C:C,">=12/31/2017")-COUNTIF(Tickets!C:C, ">1/1/2017"))
      But the result is wrong.
      Column C is date column and it varies from 01st Jan 2017 till date. I will be using the above formula to count cells which contains value ICT_W* in column B for each year separately.
      Please help.
      Thanks.

    2. Hi!
      7 is the correct answer. In my table, there was a trailing space in one of the cells, because of which that cell was not counted. After removing the extra space, I also got 7. Thank you for pointing that out, good catch!

  22. Hi,

    I want the formula to count with 2 conditions - first it should filter column for a particular text and then it must filter another column in a particular date range.

    I am using the below formula:
    =COUNTIFS((Sheet 1!B:B,"ICT_W*"), COUNTIFS(Sheet 1!C:C,">=12/31/2017")-COUNTIF(Sheet 1!C:C, ">1/1/2017"))

    This is not working, please guide.

    Thanks & Regards,

  23. 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.

  24. Hi all,

    Could any please help on the below?
    I want to count the number of cells using 2 different criteria
    1. Countif date is greater than date, eg =countif(A1:A10,">"&B1)
    2. Countif cell is blank, otherwise give ''text''
    I know I need to use the formula ''Countifs'', however when I try to put them together it shows the message Value, clearly I'm doing something wrong!

  25. I have created four sheets in Excel to record monthly attendance in church. The first sheet records the Guest that are attending for the first time(first time guest list), the second sheet Records guests that attended for the second time (i.e same guest attending again).

My problem is I have done the total guest per month it works well, but i am not able to extract the number of Male and female from the (first time guest list). Sheet1(Month, Name, Gender,FirstTime) Sheet2(Month, Name, Gender,SecondTime), Sheet3(Month, Total, MaleTotal, FemaaleTotal)

  27. I have a requirement which involves countif. I have a sequence of Tif files
    0557_0001 - sequence 2
    0557_0003 - Sequence 4
    0557_0007 - Sequence 3
    The file no 0557_0001 has 2 pages which is refereed as sequence ie is Sequence 2.
    When we add : file no 0557_0001 + 2 pages gives 0557_0003
    I have used =COUNTIFS(B:B,B1) to get the sequence.I need to include the addition part and populate which does not tally the sequence.
    Example: When we add : file no 0557_0001 + 2 pages gives 0557_0003 but if i have the next file as 0557_0004 , it should populate the difference as -1.

  28. I need a formula that finds the words "Email Sales" in column A:A and adds the amounts that correspond from column B:B. In the below example, my result should be $32,000

    Ads $3,000

  30. I have a column for genders and one for diferent races
    I need to use excel to calculate number of males and also females for each race separating the males and females

  31. 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

  32. I are in need of some help. I know a little bit of excel but not what my boss needs. Column C has the dates that items will be shipped, column d has if the item will be lined, column e has if the item will be blasted, and column f has if the item will be painted. She is wanting me to have a formula calculate the items for each column on a certain date, if that makes sense. For example: On day 04/12/2019, we want to know how many items will be shipped that were lined, blasted or painted separately. for each cell, there is the dollar amount.

  36. When I use Countif, I highlight the range which enters correctly (C2:C295, but when I click the first cell that I want to count for the criteria it just enters "Extract" in the field and doesn't work. I've done this before and always have issues but eventually figure it out. Why doesn't it just read the value when I click the cell? Why does it say Extract and then not count how many times the value appears in the range????

    1. I copied the criteria column and pasted as values into another column since apparently excel can't see the values as they are so now not getting extract when I select the criteria. However, when I hit enter - the cell just displays the formula rather than the results!!! So my cell says =COUNTIF(C2:C295,E2) instead of "4" or whatever the count would be. wth am I doing wrong??????????????O

  37. I cant figure out my error =COUNTIFS(G2:G75,"PAC", Q2:QR75,"Pending", COUNT L2:L75,"Case Manager")

    I tried the following but it is not working:

    =SUM(COUNTIFS('Sheet1'!A$2:A$191,{"0*","1*","2*","3*","4*","5*","6*","7*","8*","9*"},ABS('Sheet1'!E$2:E$191),">"&F8))

I am not using a range. The formula that works for just pass is: =SUM((COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"B10","B13","B17","B18"}),"Pass")*D10),"0")

  45. looking for some advice, I'm trying to count different values in excel or sheets.

    example: counting sick days for employees.

    Full sick day being 1
    half sick day being 0.5

    SICK = 1
    SICK/ = 0.5 (this means the first half of the day was sick)

    How can I build something that recognizes SICK SICK/ and /SICK and also adds up the different values of each. Thanks in advance.

  47. The project's owner wants to know the percentage of the student pass the exam(per class & subject) in a table where the row is the class and the column is subject. The issue here as the student had repeated the exam different times in both different classes and subjects. The owner is accepting to have one exam result within a three month period if the student repeated the same exam in the same class and for same subject.
    I used countifs but its really exhausting exercise for huge data. Is there any other solution ?!!
