using countif in a filtered range
is it possible to use countif in a range that has been filtered?
my formula seems to be counting all data in the range. =COUNTIF(Q11:Q301,"249") your help would be greatly appreciated |

Hi,

Hi Shane,
the formula worked after I added another closure to the parentheses, but did not return the proper answer. any idea?

Hey, this works great for something I'm doing as well. But I can't
understand how this works. Is there any chance you could explain what's going on with this formula? I don't get it. Thanks, Jay "T. Valko" wrote: You're welcome.

using countif in a filtered range
Let's look at this small example...
Suppose this is your data: ...........A..........B 1....Region...Units 2........1..........46 3........1..........12 4........3..........16 5........4..........98 6........2..........92 7........3..........28 We want to be able to count how many units are 25 when the data is filtered. =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B7,ROW(B2:B7)-ROW(B2),,1)),--(B2:B725)) When the data is unfiltered the result is 4. If we filter on Region 1 then the result is 1. Here's how it works... The SUBTOTAL function allows us to perform calculations on filtered data but the SUBTOTAL function is (very) limited to the types of calculations it can perform without some trickeration. For this to work we need to generate an array of subtotals, one for each row in our range. We do that using the OFFSET function. Basically, OFFSET allows us to step through the referenced range one row at a time getting a result from each row and generating an array of results. In this example we're using SUBTOTAL to count how many cells in the range are not empty. As it steps through each cell the result will be either 1 or 0. When the data is filtered the count for those visible cells that are not empty will be1 and the count for those cells hidden by the filter or are empty will be 0. When the data is unfiltered (all cells visible) then we get an array of subtotals that are all 1s. Based on the above sample data that array would be: {1;1;1;1;1;1} This array is the first argument in the SUMPRODUCT function. SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B7,ROW(B2:B7)-ROW(B2),,1)), Let's assume we filter the data on Region 1. ...........A..........B 1....Region...Units 2........1..........46 3........1..........12 Now our array of subtotals would be: {1;1;0;0;0;0} Remember, 1 = cell is not empty *and* the cell is visible, 0 = cell is either empty or the cell is not visible. So that's how we handle the filtered data. Now we have to complete the calculation which is to count how many units are 25. We use the second argument of the SUMPRODUCT function to test every cell in the range for being 25: SUMPRODUCT(.....,--(B2:B725)) This will return an array of either TRUE or FALSE: B225=TRUE B325=FALSE B425=FALSE B525=TRUE B625=TRUE B725=TRUE SUMPRODUCT works with numbers so we need to convert those logicals to numbers. One way to do that is to use the double unary "--". --(B2:B725) --TRUE=1 --FALSE=0 Now we have another array of 1s and 0s: {1;0;0;1;1;1} SUMPRODUCT then multiplies these 2 arrays together: ......subtotals............25....... {1;1;0;0;0;0}* {1;0;0;1;1;1} 1*1=1 1*0=0 0*0*0 0*1=0 0*1=0 0*1=0 The results of this multiplication are summed to arrive at the final result. =SUMPRODUCT({1;0;0;0;0;0}) = 1 When the data is filtered on Region 1: =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B7,ROW(B2:B7)-ROW(B2),,1)),--(B2:B725)) =1 When the data is unfiltered: =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B7,ROW(B2:B7)-ROW(B2),,1)),--(B2:B725)) =4 exp101 -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Jay" wrote in message ...

Suppose this is your data: ..........A..........B 1....Region...Units 2........1..........46 3........1..........12 4........3..........16 5........4..........98 6........2..........92 7........3..........28 We want to be able to count how many units are 25 when the data is filtered. =SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B7,ROW(B2:B7)-ROW(B2),,1)),--(B2:B725)) When the data is unfiltered the result is 4. If we filter on Region 1 then the result is 1. Here is how it works... The SUBTOTAL function allows us to perform calculations on filtered data but the SUBTOTAL function is (very) limited to the types of calculations it can perform without some trickeration. For this to work we need to generate an array of subtotals, one for each row in our range. We do that using the OFFSET function. Basically, OFFSET allows us to step through the referenced range one row at a time getting a result from each row and generating an array of results. In this example we are using SUBTOTAL to count how many cells in the range are not empty. As it steps through each cell the result will be either 1 or 0. When the data is filtered the count for those visible cells that are not empty will be1 and the count for those cells hidden by the filter or are empty will be 0. When the data is unfiltered (all cells visible) then we get an array of subtotals that are all 1s. Based on the above sample data that array would be: {1;1;1;1;1;1} This array is the first argument in the SUMPRODUCT function. SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B7,ROW(B2:B7)-ROW(B2),,1)), Let's assume we filter the data on Region 1. ..........A..........B 1....Region...Units 2........1..........46 3........1..........12 Now our array of subtotals would be: {1;1;0;0;0;0} Remember, 1 = cell is not empty *and* the cell is visible, 0 = cell is either empty or the cell is not visible. So that is how we handle the filtered data. Now we have to complete the calculation which is to count how many units are 25. We use the second argument of the SUMPRODUCT function to test every cell in the range for being 25: SUMPRODUCT(.....,--(B2:B725)) This will return an array of either TRUE or FALSE: B225=TRUE B325=FALSE B425=FALSE B525=TRUE B625=TRUE B725=TRUE SUMPRODUCT works with numbers so we need to convert those logicals to numbers. One way to do that is to use the double unary "--". --(B2:B725) --TRUE=1 --FALSE=0 Now we have another array of 1s and 0s: {1;0;0;1;1;1} SUMPRODUCT then multiplies these 2 arrays together: .....subtotals............25....... {1;1;0;0;0;0}* {1;0;0;1;1;1} 1*1=1 1*0=0 0*0*0 On Friday, August 28, 2009 9:36 AM Jay wrote: using countif in a filtered range Excellent!
