Count cells in one range based on parameters in another range
Hi;
I want to count cells in one range on a worksheet that meet certain criteria ("Fatal", "Serious", "Minor", etc.) based on whether they are related to parameters in another range ("Gunshot", "Stabbing", etc.) In other words, where an occurrence has Gunshot, I need to count all occurrences of Fatal. The count serves as input to another cell, which is then graphed. I've been doing this by autofiltering, but that's a manual solution, and I would like to automate the reporting. I've tried =COUNTIF(ExtentofInjury_2005,"Fatal")+COUNTIF(Inju ryType1_2005,"Gunshot"), which of course counts all gunshots and all fatals(trust me, we don't have 24 fatal gunshots). And I know I could do a Pivot table; that's probably the best solution. I think I remember this coming up a few years back, but can't remember the solution. Tia for your assistance. |
Hi!
Try something like this: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100="Fatal"),--(B1:B100="Gunshot")) Or use cells to hold the criteria: C1 = Fatal D1 = Gunshot =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=C1),--(B1:B100=D1)) Biff -----Original Message----- Hi; I want to count cells in one range on a worksheet that meet certain criteria ("Fatal", "Serious", "Minor", etc.) based on whether they are related to parameters in another range ("Gunshot", "Stabbing", etc.) In other words, where an occurrence has Gunshot, I need to count all occurrences of Fatal.

TYVM. The SUMPRODUCT function would not would occirred to me, but I've seen
