I'm looking to get my formula to work. I want it to count how many cells in column G contain 6/7/8, but only if the cell in Column A contains a 1.
That is what I currently have.
{=SUM(IF(A4:A72=1,1,0) AND IF(G4:G72="6/7/8",1,0))}
If you're just looking for a count, using Countifs will be helpful. Since it's a simple comparison on cell A1, I'd put it in an If statement like so:
=IF(A1=1,COUNTIFS(G:G,"6/7/8"),FALSE)

I need a count if function that counts me the cells that meet a certain criteria. This should be done with countifs. The formula is the following:
=COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!K:Q;">=1")This formula returns me an value type error.
This formula works well until I introduce the last condition orders!K:Q;">=1"
I would like a formula that counts if the word Ecolab is present in the cell; if the date is after or equal 01/01/2019; if the column U has more or equal than the number 36 and if there is at least a "1" in the cells in the row from column K to column Q. I could do this by easily replicating the countifs several times, (i.e =COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!K:K;">=1")+COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!L:L;">=1")+...........+COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!Q:Q;">=1")
But I would rather not include such a long formula as it would create confusion for the ultimate user of the excel sheet
Per my comment above, you could use SUMPRODUCT (avoid using whole columns for that) or an array with OFFSET like this:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";OFFSET(Orders!J:J;0;{1;2;3;4;5;6;7});">=1"))
If the count for K:Q should be 1 when there may be more than one cell greater or equal to 1 in a single row then you need to apply OR criteria in a SUMPRODUCT.
SUMPRODUCT formulas should not use full column references; there is too much wasted calculation. The following is for rows 2:99; adjust for your own use.
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ecolab", Orders!D2:D99)),
--(Orders!B2:B99>=DATE(2019, 1, 1)),
--(Orders!U2:U99>=36),
SIGN((Orders!K2:K99>=1)+(Orders!L2:L99>=1)+(Orders!M2:M99>=1)+(Orders!N2:N99>=1)+(Orders!O2:O99>=1)+(Orders!P2:P99>=1)+(Orders!Q2:Q99>=1)))
I have a work sheet in which there are several cells with a specific entry - let's say "A". These are not all in the same rows/columns. After each cell is a date.
I need to count the number of cells containing "A" which also have a specific date in the cell immediately to its right. I've tried combinations of Countifs and Indirect, with no success. How can I achieve this?
This counts the number of times that there is A in column A and 1 in column B
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$5="A")*($B$1:$B$5=1))
This outputs in cell D1
Not too difficult.
I have created a sample sheet with 8 rows and 5 columns of data.
See below, the formula in cell C12 counts the number of occurrences where the a cell with a date of October 31, 2017 is directly to the right of a cell that contains the text A.
If you want more info as to how this works, read on:
When searching for cells that contain A, you don't search in the last column of the data (in this case, column E) because it is impossible for a column to the right to have any date in it. This is why a portion of the formula says A1:D8="A" instead of A1:E8="A". This is the same reasoning why we start searching for a date in column B rather than column A in the formula.
You can achieve this with a helper row. Add additional row on top of your Worksheet. In cell "A1" enter formula below.
=COUNTIFS(A2:A2000,"A",B2:B2000,"YourDate")
Drag this formula to the rightmost of where you have data, then simply sum all values returned by formula.
So this seems like it should be pretty easy. I could just concatenate and make another column in the data to make a unique combo and get my answer. But that just seems so messy. So here I am reaching out to you fine folks to pick your brains.
I want to look up HQLine and Description in the MPCC tab to return the correct MPCC Code. I tried a couple IF statements with VLOOKUPS but couldn't get it right.
So I need to look up BK3 Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Connector in the MPCC tab. So it needs to match BK3 and the Long description and then give me the correct code.
Here is the missing data file
Here is the MPCC export list that I want to search
Use SUMIFS.
SUMIFS will find the sum in a table of rows that meet certain criteria. If the MPCC is always a number, and the MQAb-LongDescription is always unique, SUMIFS will find the correct ID.
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C$2:C$100,Sheet1!A$2:A$100,A2,Sheet1!B$2:B$100,B2)
where Sheet1!A$2:A$100 is the HQAb data, Sheet1!B$2:B$100 is the Long Description data, Sheet1!C$2:C$100 is the MPCC Number data, A2 is the HQLine, and B2 is the Description.
The formula would go in C1.
More information on VLookup with Multiple Criteria
You can use an Index/Match with multiple criteria.
I'm assuming that you will put this formula in "Sheet1", cell C2, and your lookup data is in a sheet called "Sheet2", columns A, B, C from row 2 to 30.
Put this in Sheet1, C2:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$30,MATCH(A2&B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$30&Sheet2!$B$2:$B$30,0))
(Enter with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) and drag down.)
Adjust the ranges as necessary.
lets assume your first Table is on sheet 1 in the range A1:C11 and the MPCC codes are located on Sheet 2 in the range A1:C32. Each table has a header row so your data really starts in row 2.
Similar to BruceWayne's answer of using an array formula, you can bring the array calculation inside of a formula and avoid the special array treatment. There are a few functions that can do this. I will demonstrate with the SUMPRODUCT function;
On Sheet 1, Cell C2, use the following formula:
=INDEX('Sheet 2'!$C$1:C$32,SUMPRODUCT((A2='Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32)*(B2='Sheet 2'!$B$2:B$32)*row('Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32))
Explanation:
When the value in A2 matches the value in the range in the second sheet it will be true and false when it does not. when True False get used in math operations they are treated at 1 and 0 respectively. Therefore the only result from your two search criteria will be the rows where A2 match is true and B2 match is true and this will have a value of 1. The 1 will then be multiplied by the row number. Since all other results will be 0 since your list is a unique combination, the sum part of sumproduct will sum up to the row number where your unique row is located. This in turn is used by the indext function to return the row to give your unique number.
What I want to do is count the cells with any number value (=count) in the last column (F) IF the cells in the same row have certain values. For example, let's say I want the first column (A) to contain "Bleach", the second to contain ".05", and the third to contain "2". I only want to count the cells in column F if those cells in the same row have those values.
I have no clue how to do this, so any help is appreciated.
If layout allows you, create a new column that has a formula like if (and(a = 'bleache',b=0.5,c=2),1,0) and make the count on this column and hide it afterwards.
Also I saw a new formula (never used it personally) you should check it:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/countifs-function-HA102753238.aspx?CTT=1
Excel does have a COUNTIF function that does exactly what you're looking for.
You specify a range and a criteria. If the criteria is true, then the value is counted.
Please try:
=SUMIFS(F:F,A:A,"Bleach",B:B,0.05,C:C,2)
My question is how can I find an intersecting cell of a specific column and row number?
My situation is this: with some calculations I find two cells, lets say B6 and E1. I know that I need a row of the first one and a column of the second one. So I could just use ROW and COLUMN functions to get the numbers. After that, I need to find an intersecting cell. Which would be E6 in this example.
I would just use INDEX(A1:Z100;ROW;COLUMN) but I don't know the exact area that I'm going to need - it depends on other stuff. I could use something like A1:XFG65000 but that is way too lame. I could also use a combination of INDIRECT(ADDRESS()) but I'm pulling data from a closed workbook so INDIRECT will not work.
If this would help to know what is this all for - here's a concrete example:
I need to find limits of a section of a sheet that I would work with. I know that it starts from the column B and goes all the way down to the last non-empty cell in this column. This range ends with a last column that has any value in first row. So to define it - I need to find the intersection of this last column and the last row with values in B column.
I use this array formula to find the last column:
INDEX(1:1;MAX((1:1<>"")*(COLUMN(1:1))))
And this array formula to find the last row:
INDEX(B:B;MAX((B:B<>"")*(ROW(B:B)))
Last column results in E1 and last row results in B6. Now I need to define my range as B1:E6, how can I get E6 out of this all to put into the resulting formula? I've been thinking for a while now and not being and Excel expert - I couldn't come up with anything. So any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!
You can use an Index/Match combination and use the Match to find the relevant cell. Use one Match() for the row and one Match() for the column.
The index/match function to find the last cell in a sheet where
column B is the leftmost table column
row 1 is the topmost table row
data in column B and in row 1 can be a mix of text and numbers
there can be empty cells in column B and row 1
the last populated cell in column B marks the last row of the table
the last populated cell in row 1 marks the last column of the table
With these premises, the following will return correct results, used in a Sum() with A1 as the starting cell and Index to return the lower right cell of the range:
=SUM(A1:INDEX(1:1048576,MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99,B:B,1),0),IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz",B:B,1),0)),MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99,1:1,1),0),IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz",1:1,1),0))))
Since you seem to be on a system with the semicolon as the list delimiter, here is the formula with semicolons:
=SUM(A1:INDEX(1:1048576;MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99;B:B;1);0);IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz";B:B;1);0));MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99;1:1;1);0);IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz";1:1;1);0))))
Offset would seem to be the way to go
=OFFSET($A$1,ROW(CELL1)-1,COLUMN(CELL2)-1)
(The -1 is needed because we already have 1 column and 1 row in A1)
in your example, =OFFSET($A$1,ROW(B6)-1,COLUMN(E1)-1) would give the value in E6
There is also ADDRESSS if you want the location: =ADDRESS(ROW(B6),COLUMN(E1)) gives the answer $E$6
The following webpage has a much easier solution, and it seems to work.
https://trumpexcel.com/intersect-operator-in-excel/
For example, in a cell, type simply: =C:C 6:6. Be sure to include one space between the column designation and the row designation. The result in your cell will be the value of cell C6. Of course, you can use more limited ranges, such as =C2:C13 B5:D5 (as shown on the webpage).
As I was searching for the answer to the same basic question, it astounded me that there is no INTERSECT worksheet function in Excel. There is an INTERSECT feature in VBA (I think), but not a worksheet function.
Anyway, the simple spacing method shown above seems to work, at least in straightforward cases.
