countif only visible cells (filtered)
 

I have a few columns where I need to count the number of "Y", "N",
"?", and blank. At the top of my spreadsheet I added 4 rows, and at
the top of each of the columns, I have the following (see below). This
is counting ALL cells. I have several custom views set to view various
filtered populations of this group of people (different affiliations -
in column C if it matters). I need to see only the number for the
visible cells. I've been fooling around with the SUBTOTAL function,
but I can't get it to work.

=COUNTIF(I5:I200,"Y")
=COUNTIF(I5:I200,"N")
=COUNTIF(I5:I200,"?")
=COUNTIF(I5:I200,"")

Thanks!

=SUBTOTAL(3,I5:I200)

then filter for Y, then filter for N and so on

If somehow you are filtering another column and you want count the Y you can
use this technique


=SUMPRODUCT(--($I$2:$I$200="Y"),--(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET($I$2,ROW($I$2:$I$200)-MIN(ROW($I$2:$I$200)),,))))

I am filtering on criteria in column C. The counts are coming from
column I.

I cut and pasted your formula below, but it's not working - the result
is #NAME?



If somehow you are filtering another column and you want count the Y you can use this technique

=SUMPRODUCT(--($I$2:$I$200="Y"),--(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET($I$2,ROW($I$2:$I$200)-*MIN(ROW($I$2:$I$200)),,))))

You must have pasted it incorrectly or gotten excessive characters or too
few

=SUMPRODUCT(--($I$2:$I$200="Y"),--(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET($I$2,ROW($I$2:$I$200)-MIN(ROW($I$2:$I$200)),,))))



If you have to, do type in the formula. It works, I promise.

You do want to count Y ? If you want to just count visible cells just use

=SUBTOTAL(3,I2:I200)

my formula will count Y in the filtered range (or unfiltered for that
matter)

Do you use an English version of Excel?

If no, what language do you use?

Yes, English. Excel 2007.

I tried the =SUMPRODUCT..... again. Still not working.

Thanks for looking at this Dave!

You could try copying a copy of Peo's formula again (just in case google
introduced some funny characters).

=SUMPRODUCT(--($I$2:$I$200="Y"),
--(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET($I$2,ROW($I$2:$I$200)-MIN(ROW($I$2:$I$200)),,))))

(if that still fails, try typing it in manually.)

And if that fails, copy the formula from the formula bar and post it in your
reply.

They actually do add some characters, sometimes I search for my own old
formulas and when I copy and paste them on some occasions there have been
things like an extra minus sign etc

And sometimes those characters are invisible to the naked eye--just more HTML
junk <vbg.
