counting
hi
from what you posted, you're not counting. you're summing. use the sumif =sumif(criteria range,"criteria",sum range) you would need a sumif for each criteria. you can then sum the sumif's for a grand total. regards FSt1 "Simon Minder" wrote: Hi all, I have a counting issue.

=Sumif($A$1:$A$5, "a", $B$1:$B$5)
or use a cell reference for your criteria. assuming "a" (w/o quotes) is in C1 =Sumif($A$1:$A$5, C1, $B$1:$B$5) "Simon Minder" wrote: Hi all, I have a counting issue.
