Microsoft Excel provides several functions purposed for counting different kinds of cells, such
as blanks or non-blanks, with number, date or text values, containing specific words or
character, etc.
In this article, we will focus on the Excel COUNTIF function that is purposed for counting cells
with the condition you specify. First, we will briefly cover the syntax and general usage, and
then I provide a number of examples and warn about possible quirks when using this function
with multiple criteria and specific types of cells.
In essence, COUNTIF formulas are identical in all Excel versions, so you can use the examples
from this tutorial in Excel 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003.
Excel COUNTIF function - syntax and usage
Examples of how to use COUNTIF in Excel
COUNTIF formula for text and numbers (exact match)
COUNTIF with wildcard characters (partial match)
Count if blank or not blank
Count if greater than, less than or equal to
COUNTIF formulas for dates
Excel COUNTIF with multiple criteria
Count duplicates and unique values
Excel COUNTIF - frequently asked questions and issues
For example, you can write a COUNTIF formula to find out how many cells in your worksheet
contain a number greater than or less than the number you specify. Another typical use of
COUNTIF in Excel is for counting cells with a specific word or starting with a particular letter(s).
COUNTIF(range, criteria)
Outlook
As you see, there are only 2 arguments, both of which are required:
range - defines one or several cells to count. You put the range in a formula like you usually
do in Excel, e.g. A1:A20.
criteria - defines the condition that tells the function which cells to count. It can be a number,
text string, cell reference or expression. For instance, you can use the criteria like these: "10",
A2, ">=10", "some text".
And here is the simplest example of Excel COUNTIF function. What you see in the image below
is the list of the best tennis players for the last 14 years. The formula
=COUNTIF(C2:C15,"Roger Federer")counts how many times Roger Federer's name is on the
list:

Note. A criterion is case insensitive, meaning that if you type "roger federer" as the criteria
in the above formula, this will produce the same result.

Suppose, you have a list of tasks assigned to different persons, and you want to know the
number of tasks assigned to Danny Brown. Because Danny's name is written in several
different ways, we enter "*Brown*" as the search criteria =COUNTIF(D2:D10, "*Brown*").
An asterisk (*) is used to find cells with any sequence of leading and trailing characters, as
illustrated in the above example. If you need to match any single character, enter a question
mark (?) instead, as demonstrated below.
If you are looking for a count of cells that start or end with certain letters and contain the exact
number of characters, you use the Excel COUNTIF function with the question mark character
(?) in the criteria:
=COUNTIF(D2:D9,"??own")- counts the number of cells ending with the letters "own" and
having exactly 5 characters in cells D2 through D9, including spaces.
=COUNTIF(D2:D9,"Mr??????")- counts the number of cells starting with the letters "Mr" and
having exactly 8 characters in cells D2 through D9, including spaces.
Tip. To find the number of cells containing an actual question mark or asterisk, type a tilde
(~) before the ? or * character in the formula. For example, =COUNTIF(D2:D9,"*~?*")will
count all cells containing the question mark in the range D2:D9.

COUNTIF blank
If you want the opposite, i.e. count blank cells in a certain range, you should adhere to the
same approach - use a formula with a wildcard character for text values or another one (with
the "" criteria) to count all empty cells.
Formula to count cells not containing any text: =COUNTIF(range,"<>"&"*")
Translated into plain English, the criteria used in the above formula ("<>"&"*") means to find
cells not equal to *, i.e. not containing any text in the specified range.
Universal COUNTIF formula for blanks (all value types): =COUNTIF(range,"")
The above formula correctly handles numbers, dates and text values. For example, the formula
=COUNTIF(C2:C11,"")returns the number of all empty cells in the range C2:C11.
Note. Please be aware that Microsoft Excel provides another function for counting blank
cells =COUNTBLANK(range). For instance, the below formulas will produce exactly the same
results as the COUNTIF formulas you see in the screenshot above:
Count blanks: =COUNTBLANK(C2:C11)
Count non-blanks: =ROWS(C2:C11)*COLUMNS(C2:C11)-COUNTBLANK(C2:C11)
Also, please keep in mind that both =COUNTIF(range,"")and =COUNTBLANK(range)count
cells with formulas that only look empty. If you do not want to treat such cells as blanks, use
this formula instead: =ROWS(C2:11)*COLUMNS(C2:11)-COUNTIF(C2:11,"<>"&"").
For more information about counting blanks and not blanks in Excel, see the following
tutorials: 3 ways to count empty cells in Excel and How to count non-empty cells in Excel.

Criteria
Formula Example
Description
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,">5")
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,"<5")
Count if equal to
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,"=5")
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,"
<>5")
5.
=COUNTIF(C2:C8,">=5")
or equal to 5.
=COUNTIF(C2:C8,"<=5")
You can also use all of the above formulas to count cells based on another cell value, you will
just need to replace the number in the criteria with a cell reference.
Note. In case of a cell reference, you have to enclose the operator in quotes and add an
ampersand (&) before the cell reference. For example, to count cells in the range D2:D9 with
values greater than a value in cell D3, you use this formula =COUNTIF(D2:D9,">"&D3):
If you want to count cells that contain an actual operator as part of the cell's contents, i.e. the
characters ">", "<" or "=", then use a wildcard character with the operator in the criteria. Such
criteria will be treated as a text string rather than a numeric expression. For example, the
formula =COUNTIF(D2:D9,"*>5*")will count all cells in the range D2:D9 with contents like this
"Delivery >5 days" or ">5 available".
Formula Example
Description
=COUNTIF(B2:B10,"6/1/2014")
=COUNTIF(B2:B10,">=6/1/2014")
=COUNTIF(B2:B10,">="&B2-"7")
Apart from these common usages, you can utilize the COUNTIF function in conjunction with
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2014/07/02/excel-countif-examples/#countif-syntax
5/56

specific Excel Date and Time functions such as TODAY() to count cells based on the current
date.
Criteria
Formula Example
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,TODAY())
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,"<"&TODAY())
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,">"&TODAY())
=COUNTIF(A2:A10,"="&TODAY()+7)
Here is an example of using such formulas on real data (at the moment of writing today was
25-Jun-2014):

In the same manner, you can write a COUNTIF formula with several conditions. Here is an
example of the COUNTIF function with multiple conditions that counts lemonade, juice and
ice cream:
=COUNTIF(B2:B13,"Lemonade") + COUNTIF(B2:B13,"*juice") + COUNTIF(B2:B13,"Ice
cream")
You can find plenty more examples for text, numbers and dates in this tutorial - Excel
COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria.

If you have two separate lists, say lists of names in columns B and C, and you want to know
how many names appear in both columns, you can use Excel COUNTIF in combination with the
SUMPRODUCT function to count duplicates:
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(B2:B1000,C2:C1000)>0)*(C2:C1000<>""))
We can even take a step further and count how many unique names there are in Column C, i.e.
names that do NOT appear in Column B:
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(B2:B1000,C2:C1000)=0)*(C2:C1000<>""))
Tip. If you want to highlight duplicate cells or entire rows containing duplicate entries, you
can create conditional formatting rules based on the COUNTIF formulas, as demonstrated in
this tutorial - Excel conditional formatting formulas to highlight duplicates.
Example 3. Count duplicates and unique values in a row
If you want to count duplicates or unique values in a certain row rather than a column, use one
of the below formulas. These formulas might be helpful, say, to analyze the lottery draw
history.
Count duplicates in a row:
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(A2:I2,A2:I2)>1)*(A2:I2<>""))
Count unique values in a row:
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(A2:I2,A2:I2)=1)*(A2:I2<>""))

Wrong: =COUNTIF(A2,B3,C4,">0")
Right: =COUNTIF(A2,">0") + COUNTIF(B3,">0") + COUNTIF(C4,">0")
An alternative way is using the INDIRECT function to create an array of ranges. For example,
both of the below formulas produce the same result you see in the screenshot:
=SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"B2:B8","D2:C8"}),"=0"))
=COUNTIF($B2:$B8,0) + COUNTIF($C2:$C8,0)

Be very careful with using spaces in a COUNTIF formula. When creating one of the formulas for
this article I was on the verge of pulling my hair out because the correct formula (I knew with
certainty it was right!) wouldn't work. As it turned out, the problem was in a measly space
somewhere in between, argh... For instance, look at this formula =COUNTIF(B2:B13,"
Lemonade"). At first sight, there is nothing wrong about it, except for an extra space after the
opening quotation mark. Microsoft Excel will swallow the formula just fine without an error
message, warning or any other indication, assuming you really want to count cells containing
the word 'Lemonade' and a leading space.
If you use the COUNTIF function with multiple criteria, split the formula into several pieces and
verify each function individually.
And this is all for today. In the next article, we will explore several ways to count cells in Excel
with multiple conditions. Hope to see you next week and thanks for reading!

Hi Karo,
Yes, it is possible, but you will need to add a helper column to your table. If this is
acceptable, then create an additional column and copy the following formula across that
column, which will extract the first 8 characters =LEFT(A2,8). After that, you can proceed
in 2 ways.
Way 1 using Subtotal:
- Sort your table by Column A or the newly created column with the above formula.
- Apply subtotal to the table (Data >Outline >Subtotal) with these settings:
At each change in : Column with the formula
Use function: Count
Add subtotal to: Column with the formula
- Click Ok.
- Then Press Number 2 at the left side of you sheet and you will get the count of codes
by the first 8 characters.
For more info about using subtotals please see this article - Using Subtotals in Microsoft
Excel
Way 2 using a pivot table:
- Insert a pivot table (select your table and go to Insert > Tables > PivotTable).
- Place your pivot table onto a new sheet.
- Drag and drop the column with the formula to the Rows section and column A to the

Hello,
I want to formulate the following:
IF "cell value A" greater than(>) "cell value B", THEN "cell value A" = "cell value B" and
therefore the result "cell value C" is equal to zero
if this is doable can it be applied to multiple "cells"?

Hi Richard,
I understand your condition but cannot figure out what result you want to achieve : ) If
you want a formula to add a zero to column C if a value in cell A in the same row is
greater than in cell B, you can use the following IF formula: =IF($A2>$B2,0,"") where 2 is
your first row with data. Since we use a relative row reference (without the $ sign) the
formula with compare values in each individual row when copied across multiple cell. If
you are looking for some other result, please clarify.

Hi There,
I am trying to record attendance at my office and I am putting together an excel
spreadsheet to store the data. I need to be able to sum up the totals of vacation days,
personal days, business days, and sick days. The countif works well if I put 'V' for vacation,
'B' for business and so forth, but how can I calculate half days? Is there a way that I can set
up a second Countif function so when I put in something like 'VH' in the range it counts it
as 0.5 rather than one? Pretty much I am wondering if I can change the amount that the
countif function counts by.
Thanks

Svetlana Cheusheva says:
August 1, 2014 at 7:14 am
Hi Kelly-Ann,
I think you can just multiply the result of COUNTIF for "VH" by 0.5 to count half days,
e.g.:
=COUNTIF(RANGE, "V") + 0.5*COUNTIF(RANGE, "VH")

Hi,
I have a project list where activity is shown in a timeline. I need to count up if a column
'project stage' shows activity in any given month. I have set the countif for picking up
activity but now need to make it so that it only counts that activity if column 'project stage'
is a particular word.
Any idea?

Hi,
I need to combine an IF statement with a COUNTIF that will count 3 out of 5 text entry
options for a single column. If the COUNTIF =0, it needs to show as a dash. This is the
original formula that is working =IF(COUNTIF(B1:B10000,C1&D1)=0,"",COUNTIF(B1:B10000,C1&D1))
I need to add another criteria to the COUNTIFs, where there are 5 possible entries in
column E and I need it to count 3 of these (Allocated, Declined, Rejected). Any suggestions
is gratefully appreciated.

Hello Ruth,
Let me check if I understand the task correctly. Do you want to count values in column B
only if column E has any of these values: Allocated, Declined, Rejected? Or, are you
looking for something different? It will be very helpful if you can paste the values from a
couple of rows in columns B-E and the result you expect a formula to return.

August 14, 2014 at 7:08 am
Hello Lara,
The same as Robert, you should also use the COUNTIFS function rather than COUNTIF,
because COUNTIFS can count cells based on multiple criteria. The formula is as follows:
=COUNTIFS($A2:$A32,"On programme",$B2:$B32,"CLEANING")
You can find the full details in this tutorial:
http://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2014/07/10/excel-countifs-multiple-criteria/
If you want to use the SUM function, you should enter the following array formula
(remember to press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to complete it):
{=SUM(($A2:$A22="On Programme")*($B2:$B32="CLEANING"))}

Not sure if its possible, but can you Count the Blank spaces in One Column (say Column A)
if there is specific text in Column B that corresponds to the blank area. For example, I need
to know how many have responded to my invitation (blanks)in column A, but have
informed me they are available (Word: Available)in column B. I have tried to combine a
=CountBlank with a =COUNTIF but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Hello,
I want to count the number of blank cells from a specific character.
The problem is that the range is extended with one cell, each day. Can you automatically
extend that range each day?
Also, eventially the specific character will appear again in later cells, then I want it to start
the count of blank cell from this "new" specific character.
Example:
The letter P is in cell B2 the range is B2:G2, hence 5 blank cells. Two days after I want the
range to be B2:I2 i.e. 7 blank cells.
Another three days later the the letter P appears in cell K2 (range is now B2:L2), hence it
should start the count from K2 i.e. 1 blank cell.

Can you please tell me what the formula is if I want when if a # is less than 35 then add
$5.75 if it's greater than 35 add $12.75 please help thanks

Hi Karla,
I am not sure I can exactly follow you. Do you want to enter a number in some cell based
on a value in another cell? For example, if a number in cell A1 is less than 35, than put
5.75 in cell B2, if it's greater than 35, than put 12.75? And what if it is equal to 35?

Does the COUNTIF function only compare the first 15 characters? I use it to check for
duplicate values. It flags 2 of my cells as being duplicates. The only difference is the 16th
character.

I tested this theory of mine using the right 15 characters of a concatinated string. That
fixed the problem.

Hello Rick,
Thank you for the information and the update.
To my best knowledge, the COUNTIF function has 255 characters limitation since Excel
2007. And one can bypass this limitation by using the Exact function in array
formulas.
The issue you describe may occur either in a very old version of Excel, or more likely, if
your sheet contains only numeric data and Excel treats it as numbers. As you
probably know, Excel has a 15 digit limitation when it comes to numbers, and after the
first 15 digits, it replaces everything with 0's. Please check out the following Microsoft
answer for more details:

Hello,
DESCRIPTION OF FORMULA MADE IN EXCEL WORKSHEET.
C2 WILL BE ENTERED BY USER.
In D2 the entered value of user will be searched (LOOKUP)in other worksheet with in
specified range of column (Sheet1!$A$30:$A$39) and output will be the specified range in
other column (Sheet1!$B$30:$B$39).
If there no entry in the cell (C2) by user the cell (D2) will remain Blank.
Here my requirement:
In addition to above condition the value entered in C2 should not be equal to Value of A2,
if equal then it should be an error message (N/A).
PARAMETERS OF THE CELLS in worksheet 2:
A2 DUTY CODE NORMAL
C2 DUTY CODE OVERTIME
D2 TIMING OF DUTY
Sheet1!$A$30:$A$39 - Worksheet 1 A30 to A39 are duty codes
Sheet1!$B$30:$B$39 - Worksheet 1 Duty timing

Hi Svetlana,
I have three columns that are populated via a pivot table (in tabular format). They are site
(a), manager (b) and rep (c). Only one cell populates per row across the three columns. I'm
trying to build 1 formula that can be applied to all rows in one column (d), that counts the
# of items entered in a given month for either site, manager or rep...depending on which
column (a-c) is populated in that row.
I recently built the below formula that looks at the rep column first. If it is populated, it
counts the # of times that reps name shows up in column b on the data tab. If it is blank,
then it knows it needs to refer to column b for the manager name and then count the #
times that managers name shows up on the data tab in column f.
=IF(C6="",COUNTIF(DATA!$F$3:$F$3000,B6),COUNTIF(DATA!$B$3:$B$3000,C6))
I need help adding an additional (nested if or and) function that says if both column b and
c are blank, refer to column a and then search the # of times that site shows up in column
d of the data tab. Let me know if I am not explaining this well enough. I appreciate your
help in advance!
Thanks!

Hey Swetlana,
Please can you advise on below 2 quesries.
1) I have A column that shows a start date e.g. 10-1-2014 and the task needs to be
completed by 6 weeks. So i want the B column to auto calculate the date of completion
that is 6 weeks from the start date. Please can you advise how can formulate this one. And
like also want to calculate for other target dates i.e. after 26 weeks in another column and
52 weeks in another column.
Col A(start date) Col B(6 weeks target date)
10-1-2014 ? (How to auto populate date)
1) Now I have two columns as below, please can you advise.
Column B shows - target date to be completed and the column C is showing actual date
for the task completed. Now i have column D where i want value Y or N based on date of
completion is greater or lesser than the target date. So if completion date is greater than
target date than it should show N on Column D and similarly Y where the date is equal or
lesser than the target date. Please can you advise how can set a formula for this one.
Col A Col B Col C Col D
start date 6 weeks target date Actual date Y or N ?(auto populate)
01-09-2014 ? Auto populate 20/10/2014 N - Value to auto populate

Hello Zack,
You need a helper column that will show whether the number in another column is
unique or not.
The formula can be as follows:
=if(countif(D:D,D2)=1,1,0)
Then you can use a value from this helper column as one of the conditions for your
COUNTIFS.
As I can see in your formula, several columns are used for each range. Is this correct?

with the "start date", e.g. 1/4/14
with the "end date", e.g. 30/6/14
Naturally, you can put the above conditions directly into the formula, but in this case you
will have to re-write it for each set of conditions.
You can also use the above formula in another worksheet, by adding the worksheet's

Hi thereI was wondering if I can use the COUNTIF function with a very specific conditional test. I
have a set of data by date where for one date in column A, there might be 4 corresponding
numbers in column B. Example:
9/8/2013 43
9/8/2013 45
9/8/2013 36
Is there a way to use COUNTIF to only count the appearance of a number greater than x
once per date? For the above, I would want it to only count once if the criteria were ">35".

Hi Svetlana,
I have a main summary sheet where i want the count meeting below criteria in a cell.
I have sheet1 and summary sheet. Sheet1 has Col F with all the names of the officer like
Tina, Mira etc. Col I has months like March,April etc. And Col J has the target dates of visit
after 6 weeks from the tenancy date. This col J also has the date in different year 2013,
2015,2016 so on, e.g. 01/05/2014, 31/03/2015 etc.
Now from sheet1, a cell in summary sheet should check for the names from Col F e.g. Tina,
then it should take count all the April Months from Col I against Tina's name, and should
count only the dates that fall between 01/04/2014 till 31/03/2015 against Tina's name.
1) To select the names from F col from sheet1
2) to count months against a name from col I
3) to add a condition that the visit target date - 6 week which is in col J should fall from
01/04/2014 to 31/03/2015 against the selected name
Please can you advise a formula for this.
Thanks in advance,

There are 5 of these sheets that are linked into a master sheet that counts the
=SUM(F20:N20) from each book and produces a grand total.
Is there a function that will allow me to produce a list of rows that satisfy the formula buy
way of a report?

Hello Svetlana and everyone,
I had a small question regarding data analysis. I tried looking COUNTIF and FREQUENCY. I
want to quantify following things in my data set
I want measure the number of events where 0 appeared 5 times or more, consecutively in
a given data set. (e.g.: 000001100010000000 (here zero appeared consecutively, twice, 0=5
and 0=7))
Is there any formula to do this?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hello,
Thank you for this post that I must admit is very useful for people introducing Excel. I
would like to know something, I'm trying to put out duplicates from a column but the thing
is, by adding all the data I'd like the formula to count cells from number (scale number)
402 to 460 and so on for 502 to 560 etc.
Here is a look on the formula :
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A2:A749,A2:A749,0),MATCH(A2:A749,A2:A749,0))>0,1))
and then this is what i'd like to add inside the previous one :
=COUNTIF(A2:A749,">=502")-COUNTIF(A2:A749,">560")
A2:A749 datas are numbers ONLY
To sum up, I want to count all the cells except duplicates and only from number 502 to 560
Thank you for your advice!

I want to count the number of certain values (V, A, S, and/or H) in row, but I do not want it

enter something other than V, A, S, H. Any ideas?

Good day,
I am trying to highlight all duplicate dates that match on a worksheet, the above formula is
a conditional format that works, but it also highlights text values.
I originally wanted to create a conditional format that referenced a column on another
worksheet(called A), and then highlighted those dates that corresponded in a table on
worksheet(called B). But I could not get it to ignore blank cells or cells with text in them. I
tried many, many, times.
I am probably too much of a novice in my understanding of how formulas work.
Any help you can offer would be very much appreciated.

Hi Svetlana,
Very happy new year to you!!
Please can you help me on below query.
I have a table to calculate balance leaves each time number of leaves taken are entered it
would deduct from the available no of leaves for the period. Now i am trying to apply the
formula =SUM($K$8-G12) to the whole column M. Now i want to add a condition that if the
Col G is blank, then M should also have blank value otherwise it would count as per
formula =SUM($K$8-G12) which is Total no of leaves - leaves taken = balance leaves.

a count of how many entries there are for a given month, January, February, etc., how
would I do that? Also, the entries are on one worksheet and the count will be on a different
worksheet (in the same workbook), how would that formula be written?

Unfortunately, COUNTIF processes hidden (filtered) cells as well.

Hi
I want to be able to do a COUNTIF across 2 spread sheets but for 1 cell in both sheets, so
D2 in one spread sheet will be the same as D2 in the other. However, I want to use the
count if option to do this. So if D2 was blank in one sheet, it would be blank in the second
sheet, but if D2=2 in the first sheet then it would be 2 in the second.
Currently the first sheet will be blank but the second sheet will be 0 as it is linked to the
first sheet. But we need this to be blank.
Hope this makes sense, thank you.

Thank you for your informative post and support! I dates in 2 columns: one column (M) for
"original planned date of project completion", and another column (N) with "latest
planned date of project completion". I want to count the projects that have a latest date
later than the original planned date, i.e. "count if the date in column M is greater than the
date in column N" specifically trying this formula COUNTIF(M3:M22,">L3:L22"). It is not
calculating correctly - any ideas?

Hi Donna,
The COUNTIF formula cannot help in this case because you need to compare 2 ranges.
Try the following array formula (remember to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter) to enter it
correctly:
=SUM((M3:M22>L3:L22)*1)

Hi,
I want to format Column A of a sheet. Column A has names and in columns B:M are the 12
numbers (1-75) associated to each name. In Q1:Z30 I have up to (depending on the day)
300 random numbers 1-75. I need the name in Column A to turn Pink when 9 of the
numbers match the numbers entered in Q1:Z30. Since there are up to 300 numbers
entered in Q1:Z30, some numbers are entered more than once. Here is the Conditional
Formatting formula that I am using that isn't working:
=SUM(COUNTIF($B1:$M1,$Q$1:$Z$30))>=9
The formula is counting each instance that it matches and adding those up, and when
those 12 numbers have been matched 9 times it highlights the name in Column A. I need
the formula to highlight when 9 of the numbers in B:M have been matched period, not
how many times they have been matched.
Thank you so much for your time!

From your forum I could do it for Count of project Less than 01/31/2015 but that will
include all 2014 and 2013 projects also.
I used the following formula for this :

"ABC")+COUNTIFS(Details!D17:D33,"<12/31/2014", Details!E17:E33, "XYZ")

consent form.
Eg- if patient signed consent in 27/07/2013 and the bloods are drawn until end of JULY

I think it is possible. For me to be able to suggest a formula, please explain the structure

and probably patients' names. Also, what exactly you want to get as a result - the expiry
date for each blood sample or something different?

Hey, great post, and thanks for the pointers! I have a basic timesheet for work and would
like to count the days spent on each project. Are you able to tell me how I can redirect the
condition to another cell? So that:
=COUNTIF(timesheet!$C$4:$G$500,"project A")
would become:
=COUNTIF(timesheet!$C$4:$G$500,"cell reference that redirects to the beginning of the
row, which is where the project is named")
This way, I will be able to remove the need to enter the project name twice and the risk of
an error due to billing days for project A against project B.
Thanks!

This results in a #VALUE! error.
I can't figure out what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.
Ultimately, I want to make it so that the function ignores all cells that are non-numeric or

(TODAY()-30))
I have 2 separate sheets - Attendance sheet which is the sheet I log attendance to, and the
other sheet where I am placing my formulas on. Here is a breakdown of everything from
that formula above
Counts for that employee if it meets all of the following criteria:
**Attendance!$B:$B,$B5 >> Employee Name (want to count specific employee)
**Attendance!$E:$E,"CIO - CI OUT" >> Attendance code (want to count specific attendance
code)
**Attendance!$C:$C,">"&(TODAY()-30) >> THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE. I need to
change instead of being last 30 days, to be for the CURRENT month only.
So today being in May, I want it to count how many times "John Doe" has had the
Attendance code of "CIO - CI OUT" for THIS MONTH. It should reset next month to only
include June automatically.

I have summation formulas in column Z and 2 cells with a value > 0
When I use the COUNTIF(Z5:Z108,">0" ) it correctly answers 2
How can I combine that with the question "How many are SHOWN that have a value > 0
somewhat like =Subtotal(109,Z5:Z108)
Unsuccessfully tried
SUBTOTAL(109,COUNTIF(Z5:Z108,">0")) and
COUNTIF(SUBTOTAL(109,Z5:Z108),">0")

Hi Kendra,
And how do you determine whether it's an early and late game?

Hi, I have a spread sheet where I have a resident name in column A and a hall number in
column B. There are multiple residents on the same hall, and sometimes the resident is
listed more than once. I want to count the number of times a hall is listed, but no
duplicates(i.e Joe 100
Bill 200
Joe 100
Chris 300
Maple 100. So I would want to find out how many times 100 is involved without the
duplicate so the count should be 2. Can you help me? thanks,Joe

Hello,
I have the following data:
Column A Column B Column C
Estimate Percentage Percentage Expected
(days) Complete Remaining Result
0 0 Not Required
5 25 3.25
1 75 .25
Not Required 0 Not Required
So, those fields that are not a number and are equal to zero should not be calculated, but
for the formula used to calculate "Percentage Remaining", it is: Column A * (Column B
/100)
So, my question is: How do I exclude the calculations that are zeros and are not numbers
in Column A and Column B?

Hi,
I know how to do this using PIVOT, but I have a non power user that will use a template
sheet in excel and I'm trying to help him to get a count duplicates cases based on a
condition.
Case Cause Dealer
447839 L CA
447839 P CA
447839 S CA
448387 L CA
448387 P CA
447646 L PH
447646 P PH
447647 L PH
447647 P PH
447648 L PH
447648 P PH
In above example CA have 2 cases and PH have 3 cases. Using PIVOT is easy to get the
result rather then calculating through transactional data but the user isn't PIVOT oriented
and I tried hard to trained.
How I can achieve above summary results using a function/complex formula.
Anticipate thanks,
Jose

Hi Shwetha,
You can use the TIME function in your criteria, like this:
Times greater than 4: =COUNTIF(G2:G100, ">"&TIME(4,0,0))
And use analogous formulas for other calculations.

Hi Svetlana,
Looking for an idea for a function. I'm pulling data from one spreadsheet with account
numbers assigned to different agents, and trying to compare it to the number of entries
made in our sales database for these accounts. The problem is, the database entries
contain the account numbers, but also contain other text/numbers as well. Any
suggestions? Thank you!

Hi Svetlana,
I have some data like this in a column. If am giving formula (=COUNTIF(A1:A2000, A1)) to
count the number of repetition of each number its not getting counted properly. Its taking
into con sideration only few entries. May be coz character are more than 19. Is there any
way to count the repetitions if the number of character in a cell is more than 19.

Hello Nikki,
Here you go:
1) 5-2 =COUNTIFS($A$1:$C$3, "<="&5, $A$1:$C$3, ">="&2)
1) 1-5 =COUNTIFS($A$1:$C$3, "<="&5, $A$1:$C$3, ">="&1)
1) 15-25 =COUNTIFS($A$1:$C$3, "<="&25, $A$1:$C$3, ">="&15)

Hi Svetlana,
I am using excel 2003 :(
I am trying to count how many cells in column D contain a specific text, IF the dates in
column F are greater than 6 months ago from today.
I have tried this:
=SUMPRODUCT((D4:D16390=D4)*(F4:F16390="<="&TODAY()-180))
But cant seem to get it to work, just shows 0.
Many thanks!

Hi Gary,
Try the following array formula:
=SUM((D4:D16390=D4)*(F4:F16390<=TODAY()-180))
Remember to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete it.

Hi Svetlana, It does work, you're right. However, in my real life example, I am using
numbers instead of words, and it is not working.
12.33
12.33WR1
12.35
Count if should return 2, as I want to count all "12.33"&"*"
