Hello, (Excel 2003)
Column A contains list of buildings (25+ building names, 1000+ rows)
Column D contains a letter indicating if work done ("c")
Column E contains text indicating work not done ("n/c")

I would like to count the "c"'s grouped by Building name and in a separate
cell count the "n/c"'s grouped by Building name. I have tried VLookup with
CountIf without any luck.

.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A500="building1"),--(C2:C500="c"))

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A500="building1"),--(D2:D500="n/c"))

Anauna,

Select your data table, then use Data Pivot Table. Drag the header from
column A to the row fields area, and your headers from Columns D and E to
the data field areas. You should then get a count of each for each
building.
