countif formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--('[MDR.xls]Drwgs'!$H1:$H1000="p"))
Note that SUMPRODUCT doesn't work with complete columns, you have to specify
a range.

thanks for your reply but i cannot make it work.
The formula with the countif is the following:
=COUNTIF('[MDR.xls]Drwgs'!$H:$H,"p")
where MDR is the other file, h is the column where i look for the data
(the
letter P in this particular occasion)
if I just substitute COUNTIF with SUMPRODUCT it doesn't work....

Use SUMPRODUCT instead

Hi, i have created a sheet that uses countif for data of other
spreadsheets.
is there a way to retrieve the data without opening all the the source
data
files each time?
cheers
