Count of Different Columns
 

I have exported an Access crosstab query into Excel. Each row has a unique
identifier and I have 50 columns with different counts for each row. I need
to know which rows have counts in more than one column and how many columns
have a count in per row.

i.e. For Row 1 I would want to report a value of 1 as there is a value in
only one column, Row 2 I would want to report a value of 2 and Row 3 I would
want to report a value of 3. With 50 columns I need an easy way!!!

Column A Column B Column C
Row 1 6 0 0
Row 2 1 0 3
Row 3 4 1 1

Count of Different Columns
 

If you had 4 columns to look at you would place this in the 5 th column ie E1
=COUNTIF(A1:D1,"0")

Adapt to suit your no of columns

Andy,

Put this in c1 and drag down

=COUNT(IF(A1:D1<0,A1:D1))

'This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

I meant put this in D1 and drag down

=COUNT(IF(A1:C1<0,A1:C1))

'This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

If your data was over 4 columns then this should go in E1
=COUNTIF(A1:D1,"0")
Adapt to suit your no of Columns
