I have a spread sheet and I need to count the # of times something happens
per day. Example would be I have the following data. Date Outcome 1.1.05 Y 1.2.05 Y 1.2.05 Y 1.2.05 N 1.2.05 N 1.3.05 N 1.3.05 Y I want the results to be as follows Date Positive Negative 1.1.05 1 0 1.2.05 2 2 1.3.05 1 1 etc. |

Michelle,
Have you tried using a pivot table? J "Michelle" wrote: I have a spread sheet and I need to count the # of times something happens per day. Example would be I have the following data.

The formula of sumproduct worked well! Try to look at your date fomat Michelle to have exact value in betwee quotation: =sumproduct(--(A1:A30=DateValue("1/1/05")),--(B1:B30="Y")) Regards Roc -- Roc ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rock's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2972 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=49458 |

In column A you should type exact: 1.1.05 1.2.05 1.2.05 1.2.05 1.2.05 1.3.05 1.3.05 In column B you should type exact: Y N ... 1- Select cell C1, 2- you go to function to select sumproduct function, 3- "Function Aguments" will appear 4- then you type exactly --(A1:A30=DateValue("1.1.05") in agument1 and so on. It will work. Note: it doesn't work when you just copy the formular and put to cell C1. I don't know why. It is for today and Good luck!

=sumproduct() likes to work with numbers.
The -- converts True's and False's to 1's and 0's. -True = -1 --True = +1 Michelle wrote: Not to sound dumb but are the -- spaces? "Rock" wrote: The formula of sumproduct worked well!

If I would change my Y & N to 1 and 0 could I do a sumif?
This seems like a lot of extra work as I need to do this for every day of the year for both they Y and the N it would not be as bad if you could do the copy thing.

You are summing on two criteria - date and type of response. Sumif only
handles a single condition. As long as this will me a manual operation each day, you might try the pivot table as suggested. It is fast and easy. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Michelle" wrote in message ... If I would change my Y & N to 1 and 0 could I do a sumif?
