Conditional formating for data in 2 columns
I need a formula that will calculate the number of contacts that I make
within a particular ethinicity. I have two columns, with the household ethnicity in one column and then the number of contacts in that household in the second. What formula can I use count the total number of contacts within an ethnicity? I first tried the CountIf function, but realized that I was only receiving a count of the instances of a particular ethnicity and not the actual number of contacts. |

Hi
Use Sumif instead =SUMIF(Ethnicity_column,Ethnicity,Count_column) -- Regards Roger Govier "ldenning" wrote in message ...

So, if my data looked like this:
Column G Column H w 2 w 1 w 3 b 1 w 4 b 3 h 1 w 2 Then my formula would need to look like this: =sumif(G1:G8, "w", count H1:H8) Is that right?

Almost <bg =sumif(G1:G8,"w",H1:H8) -- Regards Roger Govier "ldenning" wrote in message ...
