I tried your formula but I'm lost, Sorry for the trouble, I'll just use the
old formula.

I can't make out the layout you posted. They usually get "shredded" by the
line/word wraps.

If your column headers are *text* entries Mon, Tue, Wed, etc:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:AD1="mon"),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2:AD2,{"a/l","dom","sick","bev"},0))))

If this helps what I mean the headers are not actual, just for example.
This
is how the first row of the list looks.


A B C D E F G H
AM AN ...
1 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue ....(31 days). Mon Tue
Wed
Thu Fri Sat Sun
2 sick late sick dom
2 0 0 0 0 0 1
3 sick sick late sick
1 2 0 0 0 0 0

At AM2 I put this formula that counts only Monday inputs:
=SUM(COUNTIF(A2,"a/l"),COUNTIF(A2,"dom"),COUNTIF(A2,"sick"),COUNTIF(A 2,"bev"),COUNTIF(G2,"sick"),COUNTIF(G2,"bev"),COUN TIF(G2,"dom"),COUNTIF(G2,"a/l"),COUNTIF(P2,"sick"),COUNTIF(P2,"bev"),COUNTIF(P 2,"dom"),COUNTIF(P2,"a/l"),COUNTIF(W2,"bev"),COUNTIF(W2,"dom"),COUNTIF(W2 ,"sick"),COUNTIF(W2,"a/l"),COUNTIF(AD2,"a/l"),COUNTIF(AD2,"dom"),COUNTIF(AD2,"sick"),COUNTIF (AD2,"bev"))

I don't count "Late" and "early" is there a simple formula to be put in
AM2?

I don't know how else to explain this matter. Sorry to trouble you.

Regards

Hi, I manage a monthly absence sheet, we have 4 types of absences "sick;
a/l;
bev; dom" and "late or Early finish"
All of these types of absence are entered in one row for a certain person
on
a certain date. (calendar type of row,31 cells ). At the end of that row
I
need to calculate and divide them monthly for each day of the week how
many
absences were there(Mon2; Tue-o; Wed-3 etc...) but excluding the "Late"
or
"early" inputs.
I do have a formula and I thought if there is an simple one that I can
use?
Here is a copy of the formula I use for each day in the week, this is for
Monday only:
=SUM(COUNTIF(H81,"a/l"),COUNTIF(H81,"dom"),COUNTIF(H81,"sick"),COUNTIF (H81,"bev"),COUNTIF(O81,"sick"),COUNTIF(O81,"bev") ,COUNTIF(O81,"dom"),COUNTIF(O81,"a/l"),COUNTIF(V81,"sick"),COUNTIF(V81,"bev"),COUNTIF (V81,"dom"),COUNTIF(V81,"a/l"),COUNTIF(AC81,"bev"),COUNTIF(AC81,"dom"),COUNTI F(AC81,"sick"),COUNTIF(AC81,"a/l"),COUNTIF(AJ81,"a/l"),COUNTIF(AJ81,"dom"),COUNTIF(AJ81,"sick"),COUNT IF(AJ81,"bev"))

thank you
