Default Using COUNTIF for multiple text data creating a logic statment

That did not work either.....I'm not sure if you saw the changes I made at
the bottom to the data. Instead of North, it is "North-A, North-B, and so
on"..so it is is multiple values for the North clinic. For instance in the
main data sheet I have placed Dr. Johnsonstien (which is why I used Johnson
with an "*") seeing 4 total people from different areas which all add to his
total patients seen, but they are not all at the same location, yet they are
all from the Northern area. The columns are 3 separate columns, but when the
post is posted, it shoves them all together for some reason? If you take
another look at the data, and the totals I am looking for from the data, it
might be more clear. I am looking to count a number for one doctor from both
several locations that are grouped into one area and also count how many
outside of that area are seen. It is fairly complicated I know, and in the
old spreadsheets I used to use, I could use a logical IF statement, but for
Excel, I am having some difficulty? I do however, greatly appreciate your
help on this.

Okay, try this variation of the formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(TRIM('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!J4:J65536),
7)="Johnson"),--(LEFT(TRIM('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!H4:H65536),
5)="North"))

Note the double minus sign before each term. This should give a count
of where the first part of the doctor's name begins with Johnson and
the first part of the clinic begins with North, even if you have
spaces in front of them.

Hope this helps.

KK, tried that and it didn't really give me any total numbers seen? not sure
how to better explain it then what I have included?

You only need the $ symbols if you are going to copy the formula down
- the ! is used to indicate a sheet name, which you need in this case.
However, you seem to be trying to use an asterisk as a wildcard, and
that won't work in this case - try it like this:


=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!
J4:J65536,7)="Johnson")*(LEFT('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!
H4:H65536,5)="North"))


Do you really need to use almost a complete column?


It would be better to put Johnson and North in other cells on the same
sheet and refer to those cells in the formula.


Hope this helps.

I read your post:


Assume that your main data is in column A to C, starting on row 2. Use
cells D1, E1 and F1 to enable you to specify the doctor's name, the
county and the gender respectively, and then put this formula in G1:


=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$1000=D1)*($B$2:$B$1000=E1)*($ C$2:$C$1000=F1))


Just change the values in D1, E1 and F1 to get a different result. You
can also copy the formula down to count values in D2:F2 etc.


But I forgot to mention that the information is on one sheet and the totals
are on another sheet. Also, I am fairly new to this, so I am not sure if I
am doing this correctly, so here is what I put in:


=SUMPRODUCT(('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!J4:J65536="Johnson*")*('Monthly USAGE
REPORT'!H4:H65536="North*"))


But I did not get the expected results. I used the high lite option when
picking the cells and the program automatically gave me the ! instead of the
$ that you had listed?


To setup the scenario, I have 10 doctors from 15 clinics being tracked on one
spreadsheet. There are three columns I want to count from: Doctor, Clinic,
Gender. I would like to create logic statement to count the total number of
patients a specific doctor sees in relation to a specific clinic.. Also how
many patients he sees from a region such as the northern clinics (let's say
clinic A,B,C all designated within the "Clinic" column) and how many of the
total people he sees are from his own clinic.


Relating to gender, I would like to count how many of each gender were seen
at each clinic and how many of each gender were seen for a region.


I am sure that the answer is really a variation of a nestled statement to
answer all of these, but I d not know how to create it. I will list a sample
of the columns below:


Gender Clinic Doctor


Male North-A Johnsonstien
Female North-A Johnsonstien
Male South Billing
Male North -B Billing
Female South Crestofen
Female East Johnsonstien
Male North-A Johnsonstien


Total North seen by Doctor Johnsonstien:
Total Non-North seen by Doctor Johnsonstien:
Total North and South, but not East seen by Doctor Johnsonstien:
Total Male seen by North:
Total Male seen by Non-North:
Total Male seen by Doctor Johnsonstien:
Total Male from North seen by Doctor Johnsonstien:
Total Male from Non-North seen by Doctor Johnsonstien:
Total North seen by other than Doctor Johnsonstien:- Hide quoted text -
