Concatenate formula needs a fix
I am applying the following formula to concatenate 2 counters, one from this
sheet and another one from another sheet. This formula is not working. Can someone please show me how to fix it? =CONCATENATE(COUNTIF(A10:A500,"USA")," / ",COUNTIF('DFs-Sym'!C90:C1000,"USA")) I need to see something like this == 38 / 105 I am doing this because I can't split the cell, but I need 2 different counters for each country. Thank you. |

Hi,
Your formula is fine and you don't explain what 'not working' is. I suspect you have a data problem with (maybe) rogue spaces so try this =CONCATENATE(COUNTIF(A10:A500,"*USA*")," / ",COUNTIF('DFs-Sym'!C90:C1000,"*USA*")) Note that will fail if a cell in your range contains something like medUSA which will be counted so if it doesn't work look to cleaning your data.

I still get #VALUE!

Hi Vic,
I'm no expert and I'm sure others will shoot me down if I'm wrong but try this: In one spare cell (say A1) enter the formula =COUNTIF(A10:A500,"USA") in a second spare cell (say A2) enter the formula =COUNTIF('DFs-Sym'!C90:C1000,"USA")) In a third (your target cell) enter =A1&"/"&A2 Hey presto you've got it. It might be long winded but you get the result. I often hide cells using white text on a white background then lock the cell out if you don't want others to see it.

Hi,
The only way I can get a #VALUE! error is by not having a sheet called "DFs-Sym" Check the spelling of your sheet name and ensure you don't have any spaces at the ends.

or you could do:
=COUNTIF(A10:A500,"USA")&"/"&COUNTIF('DFs-Sym'!C90:C1000,"USA") Tel "Vic" wrote: I am applying the following formula to concatenate 2 counters, one from this sheet and another one from another sheet.

Mike,
You are right! It is DFS-Sym. What was I thinking? Thank you.
