hi everyone

wonder if any of you can help

is it possible to use the countif function on a data source onto which ive
put autofilters

example

name gender question 1 question 2
Bob male yes yes
Stuart male no yes
mary female yes yes

i want to be able to put an autofilter on the gender column, then have a
countif on q1 and q2 columns to count how many say yes and no - eg if i
selected male, q1 would be 1*yes and 1*no, and q2 would be 2*yes and 0*no

hope there is somewhere out there that can help

thanks

stuart
