  1. Hello,

    I have an excel file with 2 worksheets: the first worksheet contains 10 columns and 10 rows with random values (A, B, C, D, E).

    I need a formula in the second worksheet to count the number of times that value "B" appears after value "A" in the first worksheet.

    It's really important and urgent, if you can answer this you would save me a big headache.

    Thank you

  2. I am trying to create a formula that will give the total number of cells within a range that contain a letter. The formula I currently have is: =COUNTIFS(C4:AC4,"=L",C4:AC4,"=F",C4:AC4,"=T"), however it is ot correct because within this range of cells three of them contain each a letter which are the ones in the formula and my total shows as 0 instead of 3.

    What should I change to get it corrected or would it be possible to even have such formula?

  3. Hi, is it possible to count B4:D200 (multiple column) and a column of uncategorized age to be counted in a column of categorized age?

    thanks,
    Leo

    1. Hi Leo,

      Sorry, I am not sure I can follow you. If you can post a sample of your data, I will try to help.

  4. Hi,

    I want the cell range in =COUNTIFS to be variable, ie. it might be b4:b60 on one occasion, then with a different set of data it might be b4:b70.
    Can the COUNTIFs formula pull the range in from another cell if the range is entered there?

    Thanks,

    Bernie

  5. Hi ,

    By having the Alphabets (A-Z) & numbers consider from (0-9) need the combination of these only with 2 characters alone eg:
    AA
    AB
    AC....
    BA...
    A1
    A2...
    Could you please give an excel formulae or as a vba macro code to display in an excel.
    Please drop me an email.
    Thanks,

  6. Hi,

    I have a project involving several varying length lists of email addresses which are overlapping, meaning there are duplicate values between the various lists. Additionally, the list order from left to right is important. Each list is an adjacent column in a single worksheet.

    I would like to be able to identify (highlight via conditional formatting) the duplicate values in each successive list (column) occuring in the preceding list(s) to the left of column I'm evaluating, working my way to the nth column all the way to the right in my worksheet. For example, evaluating column B, highlight all cells where there is a duplicate value somewhere in column A. Evaluating column C, highlight all cells where there is a duplicate value anywhere in columns A or B. And so on up to my last column (20) which will be evaluated for matching values anywhere in the other 19 preceding columns to the left. Note that there are no duplicate values within any single list.

    Is there a formula I can use to achieve this goal? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!

  7. I'm trying to calculate how many times a particular staff is scheduled to work during the week. This staff can be assigned to work in a different location so she can be listed in a column (to specify the day of the week) and rows are the location. The only problem is that I would only be needing to add two to five cells in a column, then another few cells from another column. How would I need to indicate that I'm adding another command?

  8. I am working with multiple workbooks, about 30. Each workbook has the names of associates that performed different tasks in it. I am trying to count how many times each persons name is used in all the workbooks.
    (Ex. Workbook 1 - Jane is used twice, Bill three times. Workbook 2 - Jane is used 4 times, Bill 1 time. Jane's total would 6 and Bill's would be 4 within two workbooks. Can the COUNTIF or COUNTIFS functions acomplish this in an easy way?
    Thanks!

  9. Hello Svetlana!

    Good day!

    Please help me, I'm a begginer on Excel. I have an exam today that may include below; (see data and scenario below)

    (Scenario: Need to count the total no of landline nos, I use =COUNTIFS(DATA!D5:D135,">1") formula however it only gives me 20 total counts, where there should be a total of 21 inlcuding 3401031 LOC. 213. What formula should I use then? Please :) )

    DATA:

    LANDLINE NO.
    325163952
    2691919
    4222239
    323445488

  10. I need to track escalation in certain readings.
    For example, I have 2 Columns, A and B; I need to count how many times column B is greater than column A when column B is greater or equal to 10.

    Sample Data:

    A B
    5 8
    10 15
    14 11
    18 22
    9 10

    From above, the answer/count should be 3

    Thanks
    Your help is great appreciated

    1. You can use the following array formula (remember to press Ctrl + Shift + Enter):
      {=SUM((B2:B6>=10)*(B2:B6>A2:A6))}

      1. Thanks a world.
        You're a live saver.

  11. I am trying to take 2 tables - Galaxy Theatre and Empire Theatre. Each table contains a list of the theatres and the gendre of movie playing in the theatre. I need to count the number of horror movies playing in each theatre (provide a total for each theatre) using one equation. Is this possible?

    The question suggests using an indrect to help, but I cannot get the Indirect function to work with countif.

    1. Hello Nancy,

      You can use the following formula to sum the results:
      =CountIf(GalaxyTheatre[Genre],"Horror") + CountIf(EmprireTheatre[Genre],"Horror")

  12. Svetlana and team – I enjoyed reading your blog about the “COUNTIFS” function, but am having problems using it. I have a worksheet that I want to count the number of unduplicated rows with two different criteria. I want to count the number of completed actions by analyst, but only count each class code once. The class code is in column “G”, the analyst (there are five different analysts) is in column “C”, and the analysis/recommendation is in column “AF”. When an analysis is completed for a particular class code, the column “AF” has some text. If the analysis is not complete, “AF” is empty.

    I can successfully count the number of unduplicated class codes in my worksheet, by using:
    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(G2:G7497,G2:G7497,0),MATCH(G2:G7497,G2:G7497,0))>0,1))
    My worksheet has 7,495 rows of duplicated class codes and 3.666 rows of unduplicated class codes.

    I can successfully count the number of analyses completed by analyst, by using:
    =COUNTIFS(C:C,"LF",(AF:AF),"")
    What I’m trying to do, but can’t figure out is how to use the COUNTIFS function and count the UNDUPLICATED number of analyses completed.
    Can you help?

    1. Hello Lorna,

      You can use the following array formula, please don't forget to press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to complete it:
      {=SUM((IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(G2:G7497,G2:G7497,0),MATCH(G2:G7497,G2:G7497,0))>0,1,0))*(--(AF2:AF7498<>"")))}

      But I'd recommend adding a helper column and copying the class codes there according to your conditions, e.g. here is the formula for row 2:
      =if(AF2<>"", G2, "")
      Then copy this formula down to the other cells in the helper column and count using your first formula. This seems to be a quicker and more flexible approach.

      1. Svetlana - it WORKED! Many many thanks from California! Where do I send the Bailey's????

        1. Thank you, Lorna. A virtual bottle will suffice : )

  13. I'm working from a spreadsheet and pulling data from the spreadsheet into a table on a new worksheet. I need to countif the data from A2:A114 is greater than 12/31/2013 and less than 4/1/2014 to obtain a count for Q1. I need to do this for each Quarter and change the dates which is working fine.

    For example: =COUNTIF('Partnership Tracking '!$C$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$C$114,">12/31/2013")-COUNTIF('Partnership Tracking '!$C$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$C$114,">3/31/2014")

    Now I need to know of the data returned from the above formula which of those have Cleared using values in columns W2:w114 and the word "cleared". I tried this one and it is not yielding a realistic number.

    Getting error:
    =COUNTIF('Partnership Tracking '!$C$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$C$114,">12/31/2013")*COUNTIF('Partnership Tracking '!$C$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$C$114,"<4/1/2014")

    Is it possible for me to achieve what I need?

    Thanks

    Monique

    1. Hello Monique,

      If I understand the task right, the following formula will work a treat:
      =COUNTIFS('Partnership Tracking '!$C$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$C$114,">12/31/2013",'Partnership Tracking '!$C$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$C$114,">3/31/2014", 'Partnership Tracking '!$W$2:'Partnership Tracking '!$W$114,"cleared")

      If it doesn't, you can send us your sample workbook at support@ablebits.com and we will try to help.

  14. I have tried using the same multiple if's with a table that has multiple data validation lists. The user simply picks under the source column where the lead came from and then in the type column they would pick what type it came in as.

    My formula is =countif(Table1[Source],"Kijiji",Table1[Type],"phone") to find out what percentage of leads were sourced from kijiji by phone as opposed to kijiji by email or our website by phone.

    Not sure what I am doing wrong because it keeps throwing it out saying it is causing arguments.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    1. Hi Jason,

      You were almost there. It just should be COUNTIFS rather than COUNTIF because you count by 2 conditions:
      =COUNTIFS(Table1[Source],”Kijiji”,Table1[Type],”phone”)

  15. Hello,

    =COUNTIFS('Current Enlisted By Name'!$E:$E,LEFT(B6,4)&"*",'Current Enlisted By Name'!$D:$D,"WHQK"&"*")

    I need that formula above to capture these UICs only:

    WHQKA0,WHQKB0,WHQKC0,WHQKE0,WHQKT0,WHQLC0

    Please help

    1. Hello Rich,

      This can be done either with a helper column or VBA.

      If adding a helper column is acceptable, say column K and copy the following formula there, starting from row 2:
      =OR(D2="WHQKA0",D2="WHQKB0",D2="WHQKC0",D2="WHQKE0",D2="WHQKT0",D2="WHQLC0")

      Your main formula will be:
      =COUNTIFS('Current Enlisted By Name'!$E:$E,LEFT(B6,4)&"*",'Current Enlisted By Name'!$K:$K,TRUE)

  16. Hi,
    I'm creating a spread sheet to work with attendance numbers for an after school program. I'm using this formula for each grade.

    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!E:E,"1")

    I want to copy the formula across a spread sheet so that it will calculate daily attendance for each class. To do this, I need to be able to get the row to flow like this:

    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!E:E,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!F:F,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!G:G,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!H:H,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!I:I,"1")

    But instead, it copies like this:

    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!C:C,A6,DailyAtten!E:E,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!D:D,B6,DailyAtten!F:F,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!E:E,C6,DailyAtten!G:G,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!F:F,D6,DailyAtten!H:H,"1")
    =COUNTIFS(DailyAtten!G:G,E6,DailyAtten!I:I,"1")

    Is there a way for me to set this up so that only the DailyAtten! value progresses when I continue the formula?

    Thank you!

  17. Hi,
    In a coloumn, there are 4500 cells that contains values like -20000,-1000,100,200,500,1500 etc so i want to count there are how many 100s,200s,300s,-100s etc but if i use "COUNTIF" formula i have to give every time its very time taking.
    So plz tell me formula that gives the count there are how many 100s,200s etc are there

    1. Hi Subbu,

      - Insert a pivot table (select your column and go to Insert > Tables > PivotTable).
      - Place the pivot table onto a new sheet.
      - Drag and drop your column from "Choose fields to add to report" to the Rows section
      - Drag and drop your column from "Choose fields to add to report" to the Values section.
      - Click on the column name in the Values section and select "Value field settings" from the drop-down menu.
      - Select "count" instead of "sum" and click OK.

      If you want to update information, right-click on the pivot table report and select "Refresh" from the context menu.

    14 9
    17 3

    thank you for your help..

    1. Hello Raja,

      The value in cell B9 is missing. If you can send us the complete workbook with your data, we'll look into the issue. However, there is a very slim chance that your data can be sorted using a formula.

      1. Oke I will..working on it..thanks

  19. hi Mam,

  20. Hi, I am having a country, site and subject number column and visit 1 to visit 62 columns with the date information within an excel spread sheet. I would like to calculate
    - count of subjects per country per site per visit within the specific date range
    - count of subjects per country per visit within the specific date range

    As I am having a huge amount of data I would prefer to avoid the manual work which will take a lot of time to find out this information. Can you please help me?

    1. Hi!

      Please send us a sample of your data at support@ablebits.com and include the resulting report you want to get, and will try to help.

  21. Hi.

    I'm trying to count the number of times a specific reason code (27 codes in total) occurs within a specified date range. I was able to use the COUNTIFS statement to identify the date range, but I can't figure out how to add the second part of the equation to the formula - that of now counting how many times each of the 27 codes occurs within the date range. The formula I'm using is:
    =COUNTIFS($A$17:$A$50,">="&$R$30,$A$17:$A$50,"<"&$R$31). Any suggestions as to how I can add the next part of the statement?

    Thanks for your help!
    I

    1. Hello Jane,

      Just add one more Range/Criteria pair to your formula: =COUNTIFS($A$17:$A$50,">="&$R$30,$A$17:$A$50,"<"&$R$31, $B$17:$B$50,$R$32)
      Where $B$17:$B$50 – the cells that contain the reason code, and $R$32 is the cell with the code you want to count.

  22. pls av been trying to formulate a formula for my work and I need ur help. am dealing with different index nos and there various transactions whether credit or debit. I need a formula that can help me count de individual no of credit and debit for each index no and also sum the various credit and debit amount.

    1. Hello Linda,

      I am sorry, it is difficult to suggest something without seeing your data. If you can send a workbook with your sample data at support@ablebits.com, I will try to help.

  23. I found the answer for: COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,"Answered")+COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,"Blind Transfered")+COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,"RONA")

    instead of it, the formula is:
    SUM(COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,{"Answered","Blind Transfered","RONA"}))

    for those who will have this problem in the future.

    1. Great combination Kolegu. Thanks a lot, really helpful

  24. Hi,

    How can I count if criteria is in a list?
    For Example: instead of =COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,"Answered")+COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,"Blind Transfered")+COUNTIF(Sursa!$G:$G,"RONA")

    to have something as countif(Sursa!$G:$G,"Answered" or "Blind Transfered" or "RONA")
    Thank you.

  25. First Column 2nd column

    A2 is 15:00 PM

    B2 =A2 (This should not appear in the range of A1-B1) it will leave blank

  27. Hi Svetlana,

    this is my problem

    A1 B1 C1
    6:00 - 14:00 14:00 - 20:00 20:00 - 6:00
    A2 = B2 = C2 =

    for example, i have a value in different excel sheet.
    if i enter 8:00 am there, it will be automatically appear in A2.
    B2 and C2 will be blank.
    but if i put the value 15:00 pm, it will be automatically appear in B2. A2 and C2 will be blank.

    Hope you can help me with this.. Thanks

  28. How do I use countif to meet the same criteria but across multiple ranges in multiple worksheets?

  29. I am trying to tally the number of calls by day-of-the-week each person has from a table that looks like this but for the entire year:

    JANUARY Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr
    James call
    John call call
    Mike call
    Jane call call

    FEBRUARY Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr
    James call call
    John call call
    Mike call
    Jane call call

    MARCH Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr
    James call
    John call call
    Mike call call
    Jane call

    I have a table at the top of the spreadsheet that shows the results and looks like this:

    Sa call Su call Mo call etc
    James ?? ?? ??
    John ?? ?? ??
    Mike ?? ?? ??
    Jane ?? ?? ??

    What formula do I use that references the names in the left column with the rows to give me the ?? tallies based on day of the week when they occur? Thanks.

  31. Hi

    I have two columns named as Reportable (with Yes or No) and another column named Responsible_Officer.

    I am trying to do a number count for each yes per each individual responsible officer.

  32. Hiya

    I have a workbook with mulitple sheets and an overview sheet.
    The overview has validation list for different months whicg relates to each of the muliple sheets.

    I need a count if where by the sheet name in the range will change depending on the month selected in the validation

    i.e If 'May-14' in cell 'Overview!'C2 - Countif('May-14'!R:R,Criteria)
    If then in overview cell2 it is changed to Jun-14 the Countif will change to Countif('Jun-14'!R:R,Criteria).

    Please help?!

  33. Hi Svetlana,

    I was trying to follow your tutorial and adapt it to my data, but it didn't seem to work. Would you mind helping me troubleshoot please? :)

    I was trying to create a COUNTIF for instances when there's text in column A AND text in column C OR column D.

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Tim,

      See if this works:

      =COUNTIFS(A:A,""&"",C:C,""&"")+=COUNTIFS(A:A,""&"",D:D,""&"")

  34. Hi Svetlana,

    How can I count two different texts in one column?

    So my usual formula is: =COUNTIFS(C:C,"Passed",D:D,"Quebec")
    And its giving my correct figures.

    But if in the column C, i also want to count any other status that says Remediation Passed, how should I say that? No change in column D. I tried something like, COUNTIFS(C:C,"Passed" OR "Remediation Passed",D:D,"Quebec"), but that didn't work.

    Grateful for your insights.

    Cheers

    1. =COUNTIFS(C:C,"Passed",D:D,"Quebec")+COUNTIF(C:C,"Remediation Passed)

      This is useful for differing values.

      or

      =COUNTIFS(C:C,"*Passed",D:D,"Quebec")

      This is more efficient and works to find anything containing the word "Passed" as in your example.

  35. Can I use countifs with more to count more than three ranges and criteria?

    1. Hi Angela,

      Of course, you can. You can actually use up to 127 dirrerent ranges / criteria in one COUNTIFS formula: )

  36. Hi Svetlana,
    Could you be kind enough to help me out on this excel problem I am trying to refer to a particular cell for formatting but there is a conflict. I will appreciate your prompt response.
    I have sent the file to your mail.
    Thanks

    1. Hi!

      In your case, it probably makes sense to look up by 2 columns C and D using an array INDEX / MATCH formula. I've sent you an email with a formula example, hopefully that is the result you are trying to achieve.

  37. Hi, I have a range of cells I want to count for a skills matrix for my staff. The ranges of what I want counted are drop down menus in each of the cells with "Sound", "Advanced", "Expert" etc, and these I wanted counted in the number of times that the cells have one of those words in them. The other cells contain "UnAware" and "Basic" which I dont want counted in the original total, but put in a total for all the types of details entered, this way I will get a % of staff with the desired level of training/competence in the processes they use every day.
    I tried COUNTIFS but I kept getting a zero count even though I used the formula correctly (no error message). Could you please help me work this out?

    1. YES!! This is exactly what I am trying to do, too - and I am getting the same non-error of a zero result. What is the proper way to formulate this?

    2. Hi Brandon,

      I am sorry it's difficult for me to say why this happens without seeing your data. Please send your sample workbook at support@ablebits.com and we'll try to help.

  38. Dear Svetlana,

    Thanks for that. I've sorted it out. Someone had been clearing cells by pressing the space bar and obviously a space is still a character so this was distorting any new entries such as formulas. I've made a note of your resolutions above for future reference. Excellent stuff!

    Your help is much appreciated (and is worth a vodka or two!!).

    Cheers,
    vcoolio.

    1. Thanks Vcoolio, I prefer Baileys : )

  39. Hello Svetlana,

    I noticed that in your tutorial that COUNTIF formulas are used outside the columns/cells that need to be totalled.

    I have a work sheet with a number of columns, one of which is Sales/Purchases. The data in the work sheet is extensive and the columns are very long so I like to keep track of the number of Sales and Purchases for a month by using =COUNTIF(range,"SALE")and the same for Purchases. If I place the formulas in a cell at the top or bottom of this column everything works fine. However, should I place the formulas outside this column all I get is a date (such as January 1900). Am I doing something wrong or is the formula restricted to its specific column?

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Cheers,
    vcoolio.

    1. I need a help to do below thing. Suppose I have column A which contains values either of A,B or C as Follows.

      Column A
      A
      A
      B
      A
      B
      B
      C
      A
      Now what I have to do is, I want to count pair of AA, AB, AC likewise, based on the two consecutive values, if First row contains A and 2nd row contains A, then AA count should be 1 likewise go on.
      What I tired is I can get count for two cells only using following formula =COUNTIFS(A1, "=A",A2,"=B")
      But I don't how to go on increasing the rows.
      Please help

    2. Hello Vcoolio,

      You can put your formulas in any cells. For the formulas to work correctly, try the following:

      1 Apply the General format to the cell with the formula (press Ctrl + 1 and select General in the Format Cells dialog window).
      2 If you used relative cell references in the range argument, the references got distorted when you copied the formula. Try using the absolute cell references instead (e.g. $B:$B for column B).

      If the above suggestions do not work, please send me a sample workbook at support@ablebits.com and we will try to figure out the source of the problem.

  40. I am trying to add a value for a Alpha value in a cell. The Cell can have an M=5, a C=3 or a Z=1 so in the same cell I want to show a value of the corresponding letter, with a default of "0" if they do not choose either letter.
    Also I am adding another value in a subsequent cell for "C" a value of 1,2,3 will be used as as a negative of 1=-0.5, 2=-1 and 3=-1.5, same values only apply to a Z 4=-.5, 5=-1, and 6=-1.5.

    Thanks for your help in advance...

      1. Dear Svetlana Cheusheva,
        I appreciate your help tremendously!

        above there if i use the formula =COUNTIF($F$8:$F$30,"A") than result is 3
        but i wants to know that, How Would I Count Only The Same Name Once/ Count Repeated Items Once.
        Please help me urgently.

    F 14
    F 19
    F 15
    F 14
    F 16
    F 21
    F 24

    how can i count with these limitations? what formula/syntax will i use?
    i need to count all F with age less than 15, F equal to 15 but not more than 19 and all the F equal 20 but not more than 24

    I want to tabulate it in this format.

    F less than 15
    F equal 15 pero not more than 19
    F equal 20 but not more than 24
    thanks for helping me on this one

    1. Hi Gio,

      Try these formulas:

      F is less than 15:
      =COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$8,"F",$B$2:$B$8,"<15")

      F equal 15 pero not more than 19:
      =COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$8,"F",$B$2:$B$8,">=15",$B$2:$B$8,"<19")

      F equal 20 but not more than 24:
      =COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$8,"F",$B$2:$B$8,">=20",$B$2:$B$8,"<24")

      1. Hi Svetlana Cheusheva , Your solution is helping me , Thanks

  42. Hi Svetlana I sent you an email for your assistance could you be so kind to help me? thanks Jason

    1. Hi Jason,

      Have just emailed you the formula, hopefully this is the result you are looking for.

  43. Column B & C data not pasted very well. Just put every second time in column c.

    1. Hello Kees,

      I believe the following formula will work a treat:
      =COUNTIFS(A2:A10,"<6",B2:B10,">="&TIME(5,0,0),B2:B10,"<="&TIME(7,0,0))+COUNTIFS(A2:A10,"<6",C2:C10,">="&TIME(5,0,0),C2:C10,"<="&TIME(7,0,0))

      In your case, the result will be 4.

  44. Help please.
    3 columns. Column A is a number (Day), Column B & C are time.
    Count rows where day number is less than 6 and times in either B or C are between 5:00 & 7:00

    6 17:36
    7 10:26
    7 10:32

  45. Column G is "Barcodes". Column J is "Carriers". How can it get the Excel to display "Flexsteel Truck or FedEx or UPS" in column J:J whenever a BX number (for example..BX09225)is enter in G:G?

    Thanks in advance,

    Glenn

    1. Hi Glenn,

      If you want to use only formulas, then enter this one in cell J2:
      =IF(And(G2<>"", len(G2)>2,left(G2,2)="BX"),"Flexsteel Truck or FedEx or UPS", "")

      Then copy the formula across other cells in column J.

      If you want to insert some values in column J, but have these values replaced with "Flexsteel Truck or FedEx or UPS", or something like that, as soon as the code appears in column G, you need a special VBA macro to fulfill this.

      1. Hi,

        I have a query countiff not working. I have a project allocation sheet where column A is resources and B, C, D, E ....are daily dates. I have to allocate project to a resource in column A in other columns by selecting a drop down I have created in Column B onwards. Now I want a summary that how many resources are in a project end of month.

        Suppose 5 resources were allocated Bug fixing project through out the month the formula would now count resources for me it counts the allocations i.e. number of times I allocated bug fixing to resources

        Please help

  46. Hi,
    how can i automatically count or computed in Monday to Sunday data base count as week summary

    1. Hi Rodz,

      Sorry, I cannot follow you. Could you elaborate on the task a bit more, please?

  47. Trying to find a formula that will average only if EACH cell has a value greater than 0 in it; or if the last 3 consecutive months have a value greater than 0. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    1. I believe, you can use a formula similar to this:

      =IF(AND(E2>0,F2>0,G2>0),AVERAGE(A2:E2),"-") where E, F and G are the last 3 months' values. You can add more > operators to the nested AND function if you want to check more than 3 months.

  48. oops, it's not pasting like i want it to. basically, each day is a column, each time is a row. sorry for the confusion.

    2. Hi Emily,

      Can you please send me your sample workbook at support@ablebits.com and an example of the result you want to get? I believe in this way it will be easier for us to suggest a formula that returns exactly the result you are looking for.

      1. what is deference between countif and countifs

        1. COUNTIF is intended for counting cells based on a single condition, while COUNTIFS allows specifying several criteria in several different ranges.

      2. Hi Svetlana,

        I just sent the sample workbook. Please let me know if you received it.

        Thank you!!

        Emily

        1. Hi Emily,

          Yes, our support team passed me the workbook this morning and I emailed you the result a few minutes ago. Hopefully, the formulas work as you expected :)

          1. Hi Svetlana,
            I think I have similar problem.
            Would you please publish the solution for use the time as the cretria, something like
            "> 12:00 PM" and "<1:00 PM"
            Regards

            1. Hi Hassan,

              A formula can be similar to this:

              =COUNTIFS(A1:A21, ">"&TIMEVALUE("12:00 PM"), A1:A21, "<="&TIMEVALUE("1:00 PM"))
