using countif on sheet 2
I have several drop down menus on sheet 1 with employee names in column H
is there a formula I can use in sheet 2 that will only count individuals -- for example =countif(H1:H100,"=John Doe") but draw the information from sheet 1 -- grizz |

On sheet2, use a formula like this perhaps:
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!H1:H100,"John Doe") -- "Actually, I *am* a rocket scientist." -- JB Your feedback is appreciated, click YES if this post helped you.

I thought that would be the correct formula but it will not work. Does it
make a differance if all the names are selected from a drop down menu -- grizz "JBeaucaire" wrote: On sheet2, use a formula like this perhaps: =COUNTIF(Sheet1!H1:H100,"John Doe") -- "Actually, I *am* a rocket scientist." -- JB Your feedback is appreciated, click YES if this post helped you.

No. The problem is most likely with the data. In a cell near one of your
"drop down" John Doe cells, enter the same name manually. Now compare them with a simple formula: =A1=B1 If they are completely identical, you will see TRUE. Frequently, people make mistakes creating drop down lists and have trailing spaces in there that are invisible. -- "Actually, I *am* a rocket scientist." -- JB Your feedback is appreciated, click YES if this post helped you.

Glad to hear...told you, the formulas are the same, so it's the data layout
that usually is the culprit. Your feedback is appreciated, click YES if this post helped you. "grizzly6969" wrote: Thanks JB -- I got it to work -- I just noticed sheet 1 name was change a little and once I put the correct sheet in it worked fine -- again thanks -- grizz |
