Answer: Using Countif with multiple criteria in the same column.
Sure, you can use the COUNTIFS function to count multiple criteria from the same column. Here's how you can do it:
- First, select the cell where you want to display the count result.
- Then, type the formula "=COUNTIFS(" in the formula bar.
- After that, select the range of cells that contain the Names column. For example, if the Names column is in column A and has data in rows 2 to 100, select the range A2:A100.
- Next, type a comma "," to separate the first criterion.
- Then, type the first criterion in quotes. For example, if the first criterion is "Tom", type "Tom" in quotes.
- Type another comma "," to separate the second criterion.
- Type the second criterion in quotes. For example, if the second criterion is "Beth", type "Beth" in quotes.
- Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each additional criterion you want to count. For example, if you want to count Tom, Beth, John, and Roger, you would type:
=COUNTIFS(A2:A100,"Tom",A2:A100,"Beth",A2:A100,"Jo hn",A2:A100,"Roger")
- If you want to count a different set of criteria, simply replace the criteria in the formula with the new criteria. For example, if you want to count Joe, Sue, Randy, and Bob, you would type:
=COUNTIFS(A2:A100,"Joe",A2:A100,"Sue",A2:A100,"Ran dy",A2:A100,"Bob")
- Press Enter to complete the formula. The cell will display the count result.
That's it! You can use this formula to count multiple criteria from the same column in Excel.
