hello, I'm struggling with the countifs function.
I'm puttting this in my excel and it gives me an error message all the time!
Do you know what it can be???
=COUNTIFS("E1678:E2515,"=review",M1678:M2515,"<30")
It's killing me!
Hi Hugo,
There is an extra double quote character before E1678:E2515. Once it's removed, your formula works perfectly:
=COUNTIFS(E1678:E2515,"review",M1678:M2515,"<30")
Hello, I am trying to tally the number of rows across multiple worksheets in the same workbook that meet 2 criteria. 1. An X is in a row signifying CRITICAL. 2. Another cell in the same row is blank, meaning the CRITICAL issue was not resolved. =COUNTIFS('AMH:INFO (2)'!E2:E52,"X",'AMH:INFO (2)'!H2:H52,"") is my current formula and it returns #VALUE. I appreciate any help you can give
Lets see this
i have 2 columns with data
like the following
A B
10 10
20 18
16 20
. .
. .
. .
so i want to count how many times the values in column A are greater then the values in column B
is there any countif cobination for that or do i have to add an extra column (C) in wich the diferences betwen A&B are displayed and then use the countif function on column C???
I really want to avoid adding a new column
Can't get this to work =COUNTIF(D4:D154,D165)-COUNTIF(H4:H154,">=K165")-COUNTIF(H4:H154,"<=L165") where column D is my hearing type HESU, HEPS... Column K is my start date (7/1/2016, 8/1/2016..) and Column L is my end date (7/31/2016, 8/31/2016...).
I have two columns. If column A is "Big" and there is a date in column B, it must be counted.

Hi,
I am currently using a formula having hardcoded values:
= SUM(COUNTIFS('Today''s Defects'!G:G,{"New","In Development","In Code Review","In Test","Reopened"},'Today''s Defects'!F:F,"Blocker"))
Now i want to change the values that i am providing to cell references so that whenever i change the value of the cell, automatically it gets reflected in the formula:
= SUM(COUNTIFS('Today''s Defects'!G:G,{D22,C22,E22,R22},'Today''s Defects'!F:F,"Blocker"))
But its not working. Could you please help in this
This site is so helpful! Thanks for everything you post!
I have a basic spreadsheet that lists my employees down column a and across row 1 is every date of the year. I use it to track attendance (they get points if they call in). Is there a way to count the number of blank cells between entries? Their points get cut in half if they go 90 days without an occurrence. Is there a way to make their total points cut in half automatically if there is no occurrence for 90 days?
Thank You
Can someone show me the formula needed to count how many times certain text appears in one column (the text can appear multiple times in one cell or just once) while meeting criteria from another cell.
For Example:
Year Action Taken
2010 Case 1: No Action, Case 2: No Action
2015 Case 1: Suspension, Case 2: Termination
2016 Case 1: No Action
2012 Case 1: Letter, Case 2: Termination
2010 Case 1: Suspension, Case 2: No Action
2010 Case 1: Letter, Case 2: No Action, Case 3: No Action
2013 Case 1: Suspension
I need a formula that will count the number of times in 2010, No Action was taken in cases. The answer is 3.
Please put me out of my misery and tell me how i have 2 sets of COUNTIF's with different criteria
COUNTIF(('Raw Data'!A:A,"1")*('Raw Data'!N:N,"TEXT1")+COUNTIF('Raw Data'!N:N,"TEXT2") ETC
('Raw Data'!A:A,"1") = count of year required
Thanks, Janet
I've tried both a dual added countif (=countif(data!e:e,">=.9")+countif(data!ae:ae,"=true") result 8) and countifs(data!e:e,">=.9",data!ae:ae,"=true") result 0) and neither result was correct (3). I also tried subtracting a countif from a countif (=countif(data!ae:ae,"=true")-countif(data!e:e,"<.9")). I've tried multiple extra parentheses. I'm not sure why this isn't working. One column is a percentage and the other is one of three results: true, false, NA. Can countif(s) not compare different types of data? I thought they could. I can't do a pivot table because some of the devices this file is on can't access data refresh and pivot table creation.
=COUNTIF(D11:F11,"Y")*0.0833+COUNTIF(G11:H11,"Y")*0.1251+COUNTIF(I11:K11,"Y")*0.0833+COUNTIF(L11:O11,"Y")*0.0625
I do a monthly quality assurance on all of my employees and the above formula is what I am using to get a percentage for their monthly score. If you add up all of the percentages it works out to 100% but if a column is not applicable to a specific rep then I need the formula to ignore that cell but still have the rest equal 100%. I have four "Categories" worth a total of 25% each with anywhere from 2-4 subcategories per section. So using the formula above if cell D11 was N/A for the work done for the month I would want cells E11 & F11 to equal 12.5% each instead of 8.33%. Is this possible and if so how? Thank you!
Hi!
I am looking at 700+ text reviews and would like to understand the frequency that any in a set of words are mentioned in a single formula. Is that possible? My current formula is returning too few results (I assume because it is looking for '+'), and I can't seem to make 'OR' work!
Current formula:
=COUNTIF(D3:E716,"food*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"cake*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"tea*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"coffee")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"restaurant*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"*meal*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"soup*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"lunch*")+COUNTIF(D3:E716,"sandwich")+COUNTIF(D3:E716, "cafe")
In Boolean, I'd simply put:
(food or cake or tea* or coffee or restaurant or meal* or soup* or lunch* or sandwich or cafe) to return ANY mention of these words.
Criteria Range Values
0 5 4
6 10 2
11 15 8
16 20 15
21 25 25
26 30 38
I want to count how many vaules fall in each respective range.

Hi Svetlana,
I am trying to count item pairs in the same range (row).
I have tried countifs formulas, but they won't work.
My data looks something like this:
1 A B C D
2 1 12 18 23
3 1 12 20
I would like to count if certain pairs are in a certain row, e.g.:
Does range A2:D2 have 1&12, does it have 1&18, does it have 12&18?
--> in this case excel should return a 3, cause all three pairs are in that row
But for row 3 it should only return 1, cause the pairs 1&18 and 12&18 are not in row 2.
I am greatful for any help I can get.
Thank you for taking the time.
I have a number of words in a row of cells I wish to count but my problem is I cannot get the countifs to count more than one group of cells with in the same formula. Cells contain the words LABPRAC, GAP, GAPVIADISTANCE. Not all cells have a word and no cell has any more than 1 word in it.
example
A1 GAP
A2 GAP
A3 GAPVIADISTANCE
A4 LABPRAC
A5 GAPVIADISTANCE
A6 GAP
A7 LABPRAC
A8 GAPVIADISTANCE
What I am trying to do is add the two words GAP & GAPVIADISTANCE together to give me a total for these to words.
Can you help me as I have tried a few different combinations of the COUNTIFS and SUMIFS formulas but cannot get it to add 2 words from the same cell group together.
Kind regards
I figured it out .....no need to reply thanks
How bro help please
hello Svetlana Cheusheva...which site is useful for learning access 2013
Hello Malaki,

hello ...u are so helpful God bless you
I want to run a countif on a range of dates based upon today's date -days to pull in last week's data and then the countif would report number of data points from another column.
Column A has dates
Column B has number of days
want to have a formula that days countif "cell =s today" minus 8 days through minus 3 days, then countif number of cells in another columns that are greater than X number.
Thank You

Hi! I can't seem to get the right answer in using the countif function with two criteria.
I wanted to get the number of a segment with a range of specific score. For example, this is the raw data:
Segment CEET Scores
Starter 40
Adapter 40
Shifter 1 40
Shifter 2 40
Shifter 3 40
Shifter 4 40
Starter 40
Adapter 50
Shifter 1 40
Shifter 2 40
Shifter 3 40
Shifter 4 40
I should get this answer:
Starter with score 40 = 2
Adapter with score 40 = 1
Shifter 1 with score 40 = 2
Shifter 2 with score 40 = 2
Shifter 3 with score 40 = 2
Shifter 4 with score 40 = 2
I'm working with a thousand numbers here.
Hoping you can help me.
Thank you so much! :)
I want to use countif with two ranges of row
condition 1 = font colour red in first
condition 2 = match the content "H" in cell of another row
If the above two condition matches then count.
If column "A" has date values such as 1/1/2016 and column "C" has numeric values 1,2,3,4...how would i count the amount of times "1" appears in column "C" through the dates 1/1/2016 to 1/31/2016 in Column "A". Thanks!
I'm using the countifs function, trying to count non blanks from a previous column that used concatenate. Example:
Column D is a function =concatenate(A1:A3,B1:B3)
A B D
1 a a
2 b c bc
3
=countifs(D1:D3,"*") gives me 3. But this is wrong. Should be 2. Cell D3 is considered a non empty.
How do I solve it?
Best, Erez
Hello
I'm currently using multiple countif functions to extract records from a raw data table (in one worksheet) into a date and time summary table (in another worksheet) which is then conditionally formatted to identify trends in the form of a heat map. On the conditionally formatted worksheet users have the option of using drop down lists to model different options.
The problem I have is only "one" choice can be made from each drop down list at a time. How do I modify my current countif formulas to count "All" from the drop down list?
My data tables are too long and complex to include on this post. But below are the three current formulas I have been using within the date and time table:
1. =COUNTIFS(Speed20209,">="&'Time Chart 20209'!$B$2,Direction20209,'Time Chart 20209'!$B$3,Date20209,'Time Chart 20209'!$B8,Time20209,"="&'Time Chart 20209'!$B$2,Direction20209,'Time Chart 20209'!$B$3,Date20209,'Time Chart 20209'!$B8,Time20209,">="&'Time Chart 20209'!D$6,Time20209,"="&'Time Chart 20209'!$B$2,Direction20209,'Time Chart 20209'!$B$3,Date20209,'Time Chart 20209'!$B8,Time20209,">="&'Time Chart 20209'!Z$6)

Hello Kenneth,
To help you better, we need a sample table with your data in Excel and the result you want to get.
You can email it to support@ablebits.com. Please add the link to this article and your comment number.
In example #1 for Countifs for text values, what if you want to know how many students passed two or more of the classes?
Hello Adam,
It will be quicker and easier to do this using a helper column.
E.g. column G contains the number of exams passed by each student:
- Enter =COUNTIF($B2:E2,"P) into G2
- Copy the formula down to the other cells
- Then the formula =COUNTIF(G2:G20,">=2") will show the number of students that meets your criteria.
Thank you. One last question....If they passed two or more classes, what equation would list their name.

Hi
Am wondering if you can help me.
I am trying to have excel calculate the number of times the value in cells D6:D583 contains a value ">=3" AND cells C6:C583 contains a value of "Blue"
I don't want it to calculate / include the values in D6:D583 if the value of C6:C583 doesn't contain "Blue"
I've unsuccessfully tried:
=COUNTIFS($D$6:$D$583,">=3",$C$6:$C$583,"Blue")
=COUNTIF(D6:D583,">=3")+COUNTIF(C6:C583,"=Blue")
Any help you could give would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hello Svetlana, I've been trying unsuccessfully to find a formula to count numbers that start with certain digits.For example, in a range that includes: 4040345, 40503543, 4065678, 4067865, 4079876, I want Excel to count only those numbers that start with "406" (2 in this case). I tried a combination of Countif + Left but it did not work. Do yo have any idea of a formula that does this calculation? Thank you!!!!!
Hi Diana,
You can use an array formula similar to this:
=SUM(--(NUMBERVALUE(LEFT(A1:A100,3))=406))
Where A1:A100 is the data range with your numbers.
Please remember to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete the array formula correctly.
How can i group the numbers in column A to show in coloumn B that they are between 1 to 1000, 1001 to 2000, 2001 to 3000?

Hello - I am working with a COUNTIFS. I have the data pulling correctly, however, since I am pulling based on date ranges & my raw data has a time stamp in it, I have researched that I need to nest an INT formula. However, when I nest it, it does not work.
This is my formula, where 'YTD Opened Issues'C:C is the date of the help desk ticket. Dashboard A6 is the start date of the date range & Dashboard B6 is the end date of the date range.
=COUNTIFS('YTD Opened Issues'!$C:$C,">=" &Dashboard!$A6,'YTD Opened Issues'!$C:$C,"<=" &Dashboard!$B6)
Right now, this formula appears to not be pulling the count in for tickets that fall on the last day of the date range. I did a test on the YTD Opened Issues tab & used the INT function on the ticket created date, then kept my formula as is, this solved my issues.
However, I want to be able to not have to modify the raw data pulled out for metric reporting.
Any help on how to nest this INT in my current function would be greatly appreciated!!
hi everybody,
i want to count the selected cells with count if condition.

Hi. what is the formula if i am counting the # of days present in a week and should have corresponding value. let say, 5 days in and a half-day and per day is $250. what is the formula for this?? thanks so much for the help.
In the beginning I thought this problem can be solved with Countifs but after many failed attempts to solve this I am not sure anymore! Hope anyone can help me.
Goal is to calculate number of rejects that occurred in a certain week. I have defined the start date and end date of a weeknumber.
Year Week StartDate EndDate #Rejects
2016 1 04-01-2016 10-01-2016
2016 2 11-01-2016 17-01-2016
2016 3 18-01-2016 24-01-2016
2016 4 25-01-2016 31-01-2016
2016 5 01-02-2016 07-02-2016
In column E (#Rejects) I want to calculate the number of rejects in that particular week.
On the same worksheet I have the registration of a reject. This lists the date a product is rejected and when the rejected product is repaired (=CompleteDate)
Reject# RejectDate CompleteDate
1 12-01-2016 15-01-2016
2 13-01-2016 16-01-2016
3 18-01-2016 25-01-2016
4 19-01-2016 13-02-2016
5 12-01-2016 21-02-2016
This means:
Reject#1 was in week 2 in repair
Reject#2 was in week 2 in repair
Reject#3 was in week 3 and 4 in repair
Reject#4 was in week 3,4,5 and 6 in repair
Reject#5 was in week 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 in repair
As such the answer should be:

I wanteed to know how I can use the countif using the criteria that is in another cell: Example.
Here is the formula that won't work:
=COUNTIF(B18:B700,">=D2")/B4
D2 is a cell that I want to be able to change the value, every month.
Example: I want to be able to change the criteria, just by changing a number in a single cell.
Thank you for your help !
I am trying to figure out how many school buses we have on the road at a given time (every 15 minutes, 5:45 to 5:59, 6:00 to 6:14, 6:15 to 6:29, all the way to 9:00 PM etc).
Column A is the route #,Column B is the Start Time, and Column is the End Time and Column D is the duration of the entire route.
RRoute # End Time Start Time Duration

I have been able to get a formula to work using the Start Time, but I can't get it right to keep counting that bus all the way to the end time.
Thank you.
