CountIf Function Question
 

I have a summary spreadsheet, "April Daily Revenue Impact.xls" that has a tab
for each day of the month. Also, for each day of the month there is a
seperate spreadsheet that contains the orders for each day. The tabs on the
summary spreadsheet should look at the daily order log and summarize the
quantity of orders and the revenue impact of the orders by region. The
Sumproduct function works great for the revenues. However, the Countif
function will only function if the corresponding Daily Order Log is open when
the values are updated, otherwise it returns "#VALUE".

The function is entered as: "=COUNTIF([04042006.xls]Master
Worksheet'!$C$3:$C$83,A4)" where Row "C" is the Region on the 04042006.xls
Spreadsheet and Row "A" is the same regions on the summary spreadsheet. When
the corresponding Daily Order Log is open, the function returns the correct
values.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That will update all of the values except the quantity of orders, which will
return the "#VALUE" until I open the 04042006.xls spreadsheet. When that
sheet is opened, the quantity of orders updates and shows the correct value.

That does work, thanks for the help.

If anyone knows how to make this work without having to add this function to
the 04042006.xls spreadsheet I would really rather not have that function on
that sheet.

Thanks
