Please Help - Trouble with counting occurrences in external file
Hi Everyone,
This is my first shot at excel. Have tried everything to get this to work. I have an external workbook called Master_Platform_14.1.1PT and a Sheet1 (several worksheets all the same format with different data) The workbook contains 1500 rows and 35 columns I am only interested in getting the counts for a few of the columns and summarizing in 2 seperate worksheets in new workbook as follows: Columns A and B are hardcoded so I have the MR and Name I just can't seem to count the total occurrences using The dynamic name = MR_14.1.1PT or Tester_14.1.1PT Sheet1 A B C D E 1 "MR Name Total_Tests Executed Fail " 2 NFMYFEAT Jane Doe 3 RFFEAT John Smith Sheet2 A B C C E 1 "Jane Doe" Total_tests Executed Fail " 2 NFMYFEAT 3 RFMYOLDFEAT External Data [Master_Platform_141.PT.xlsx]Sheet1 A B C D E F 1 Release MR Description Name Executed Fail ..... 2 14.1.1PT NFMYFEAT blah blah Jane Doe True False 3 14.1.1PT RFFEAT blah blah John Smith False False 2 14.1.1PT RFSOMEFEAT blah blah Jane Doe True False So I thought I could use dymamic names to capture the data. In the new workbook I created (its changed again but this is where I am at...) Raw!B3 =COUNTA([Master_Platform_14.1.1PT.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$A) Name= MR_14.1.1PT =[Master_Platform_14.1.1PT.xlsx]Sheet1!$C$2:INDEX ([Master_Platform_14.1.1PT.xlsx]Sheet1!$C:$C,Raw!$B$3) Name= Tester_14.1.1PT =[Master_Platform_14.1.1PT.xlsx]Sheet1!$X$2:INDEX ([Master_Platform_14.1.1PT.xlsx]Sheet1!$X:$X,Raw!$B$3) In the new sheet I am trying to get counts of Number of Tests by MR (tried SUMPRODUCT, COUNTIF, IF....) I don't know what I am doing =counta(--(MR_14.1.1PT=$A2)) Number of Tests by "Name" for a specific "MR" --- Name is particular problem I think I might need to do =LEFT (... - first name good enough) -- Name=$A2 and MR=$B2 Thank you for any help that can be provided. Sorry for the long email but the files are large and truely am confused and have to get this sheet done soooooon. I have googled till I can't google anymore..... Thanks d. |
