can't use function 'countif' in named range
have a named range from non-adjacent ranges
most of Excels build-in functions can be used with this named range (such as, min, max are sum) However the function CountIf can't be used, got a message in the cell "#value!" why is that ? |

You can't use COUNTIF() in disjoint ranges. Use:
=COUNTIF()+COUNTIF()+... instead -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200811 "Roland" wrote: have a named range from non-adjacent ranges most of Excels build-in functions can be used with this named range (such as, min, max are sum) However the function CountIf can't be used, got a message in the cell "#value!" why is that ? |

agree
but the named range is dynamically, meaning it expands on regular base, this mean I have to change the formula each time ! "Gary''s Student" wrote: You can't use COUNTIF() in disjoint ranges.

There might be other methods of doing your counts. Are your named ranges
broken up with regularity? What defines a named range? Is it a particular column, cell, calculation? -- ** John C ** "Roland" wrote: agree but the named range is dynamically, meaning it expands on regular base, this mean I have to change the formula each time !

no regularity in ranges. ranges will be decrease or increase on regular base.
ranges are defined in 1 single column for example; range name is defined as cells B1:B5 + B8:B10 + B15 only last cell, B15, can be extended or new ranges can follow further down regards roland "John C" wrote: There might be other methods of doing your counts.

What I am trying to ask, is, why are cells B1:B5 a named range? why are cells
B8:B10 a named range, and B15+ a named range? What makes them named? What criteria are you using to name these ranges? -- ** John C ** "rolando" wrote: no regularity in ranges. ranges will be decrease or increase on regular base. ranges are defined in 1 single column for example; range name is defined as cells B1:B5 + B8:B10 + B15 only last cell, B15, can be extended or new ranges can follow further down regards roland "John C" wrote: There might be other methods of doing your counts.
