Counting with multiple matching criteria
A colleague came to me yesterday and complained about the length of formulas.
She needs to count occurrences of values in a table that meet any of several criteria. The table is pure text with no blanks. Her formula was something like: =COUNTIF(G7:G3147,"open")+COUNTIF(G7:G3147,"pendin g review")+COUNTIF(G7:G3147,"review complete")+COUNTIF(G7:G3147,"assigned") I pointed out that she did not need repeated COUNTIF()s and to use: =SUM(COUNTIF(G7:G3147,{"open","pending review","review complete","assigned"})) She was satisfied, but returned this morning and wanted to know if the criteria could be completely removed from the formula and stored in a table. I put the match values in Z1 thru Z4 and tried: =SUM(COUNTIF(G7:G3147,Z1:Z4)) but this returns zero. Any suggestions for putting the criteria in a little table and referring to that table?? -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200858 |
