Counting defined values
I am trying to count the number of times either "12 12" or "8 16" (these
being shift patterns) occur in a column. My table is set out in a calendar format, with the value beside a persons name. I need to count how many times there was 2 or less of the above values in one day, so I am assuming i should count each column, then have a SUM at the end of it. My aim is to count how many times in a year, there were days with 2 or less of the above values. ie 0, 1 or 2 people working that day. I have already set conditional formatting so that these values are turned up in red, so I dont know if that helps, (although other values in the table are red also!) I am sorry if this is confusing, I am a bit of a novice user, and am VERY confused! Ive tried to explain it a bit below. Eg A B C D E F G 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Mr A 12 12 8 16 N/A N/A 8 16 N/A N/A Mr B N/A 12 12 N/A 8 16 N/A 12 12 N/A Mr C N/A 8 16 N/A 12 12 N/A 8 16 N/A Therefore, column A is one, column B is 3, C is 0, D is 2 etc I only want a total if there are 2 or less, so the above would be 6. Any help would be appreciated! |

Counting defined values
Hi,
I think I understand which probably means I don't! However as a 2 stage proces try this:- Put the formula in a cell (I1 in this example) =COUNTIF(B1:B20,"8 16")+COUNTIF(B1:B20,"12 12") Drag the formula right to cover all 7 columns (to O1 in this example In another cell type the formula =COUNTIF(I1:O1,"<=2") With your given data this gives an answer of 6 Mike "franki_85" wrote: I am trying to count the number of times either "12 12" or "8 16" (these being shift patterns) occur in a column.

Counting defined values
I will ignore your A, B, C etc since it does not fit with Excel's column
headers I have your 1,2,3... in B1:H1 In A2:A4 I have your names In B2:H4 I have your data In B5 (under the last entry of the first column of data) I have the formula =COUNTIF(B2:B4,"12 12")+COUNTIF(B2:B4,"8 16") This is copied across to H5 giving the values: 1,3,0,2,1,2,0 In I5 I used =COUNTIF(B6:H6,"<3") since you want to know how may times there are values of 2 or less (ie values less than 3 since we are working with whole numbers). This returns the value 6 best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "franki_85" wrote in message ...
