CountIF or SumIf Question
Hello,
Following up on previous help provided and which as worked great: Without having to add a column to a spreadsheet, I need to count the number of rows that match criteria based on three columns. That is, If column A is blank AND column B=0 AND column C=0, this would count as 1 valid row, otherwise 0 valid row. It looks like I could do this somehow with IF() and I'd like to use one of the functions you guys have been referencing (sumIF, countIF, etc.). I do not know how to use compound criteria. I thought I could do something like =Sum(IF(A="" AND B=0 AND C=0, 1, 0)), but that doesn't seem to work. I see there is an AND function: AND(A="",B=0,C=0) or something like that. I know I could use a DCount() function, but I was hoping to avoid using criteria columns in my spreadsheet. Very confused. Thanks for any help! John |

CountIF or SumIf Question
Perfect. Saw that function but had no idea to use it like that, not in 100
years. Reading the help screen and finding this out on my own, it appears that the range has to be the same for all arrays (a1:a100, b1:b100, etc.) In the spreadsheet I am referencing, new data is imported regularly so that the number of rows will most likely change. Is there a way to determine the number of rows in that spreadsheet to get the second half of the array number (that is, I know that their will always be a header in row 1 so the data will start in row 2. I do not know where it will end A2:A????) Thanks a lot - not a big deal if this is very complex.

CountIF or SumIf Question
jb,
Here is a way to do this in code Sub jb() Dim iLastRow As Long Dim I As Long Dim J As Long iLastRow = Range("A" & Range("A:A").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row J = 0 Range("A1").Select Do Until iLastRow = 0 If ((ActiveCell = "") And (ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value < "") And (ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value < "")) Then J = J + 1 End If iLastRow = iLastRow - 1 ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop Range("E1") = J 'where ever you want the total to show End Sub "jb" wrote: Hello, Following up on previous help provided and which as worked great: Without having to add a column to a spreadsheet, I need to count the number of rows that match criteria based on three columns.

Thank you. I'll give that a bid.

CountIF or SumIf Question
Actually, I just realized that the first column of my data will always have
a value so I can just do a =Count(A1:A10000) and it returns me the number of non-blank rows. Do you know by chance, how I would use that in specifying a range? That is, if in a formula I have A1:A600 and I want to use the results of my Count() function instead of the 600, is there a way to do some concatenation or something to reference the Count function in the range (A1:A&Count(Spreadsheet2!A1:A10000)) something like that?

Not too bad

Wow, that's out there! I'll give that a bid. Thanks very much.
