adding multiple cells together
I'm trying to think of a formula to compare two cells together once they
match I need to count how many times another cell has an entry in it. Any ideas?? For example one sheet has initials, and the other sheet has those initials in it. Once it sees those initials it will count how many times that other cell has an "X" in it. |

Try using the following formula.
=IF(Sheet1!A1:A3=Sheet2!A1,COUNTIF(Sheet1!B1:B3,"x "),"") Be sure to enter the correct sheet name and range.

adding multiple cells together
Thanks for the advice but for some reason it is adding all of the entries in
only one cell. Here is the formula I used; =IF(GG!$B$2:$B$250='INDIVIDUAL TOTAL'!$A5,COUNTIF(GG!$L$2:$L$250,"X"),"") It seems to ignore the lookup for the initials which lie in B2:B250 and A5... please help "Gilbert" wrote: Try using the following formula. =IF(Sheet1!A1:A3=Sheet2!A1,COUNTIF(Sheet1!B1:B3,"x "),"") Be sure to enter the correct sheet name and range.

Try removing the $ from 'INDIVIDUAL TOTAL '!$A5 just leave it as !A5.
