Using DCOUNT
I have two cells containing the DCOUNT function. In the first cell, I have
set the criteria to "Post-Phase 3". In the second cell, I have set the criteria to "Post-Phase 3 and PDU". The DCOUNT function in the second cell is counting items that meet its own criteria as well as the criteria used in the first DCOUNT cell . . . and I understand why. I need to make the second DCOUNT cell count only those items where the criteria is "Post-Phase 3 and PDU" (but not count those items where the criteria is "Post-Phase 3"). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob |

Using DCOUNT
Shouldn't you be using DCOUNTA?

Using DCOUNT
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I already tried using DCOUNTA, but the results were still incorrect. I finally tried using ="=Post-Phase 3" and ="=Post-Phase 3 and PDU" as the criteria for DCOUNT and the results came out correct.

Using DCOUNT
Hi,
Let's say the first cell which holds the DCOUNTA is cell G3. While on cell G3, press F2 and and the end of the DCOUNTA function, enter -sum(G$2:G2). So the formula will be =your_DCOUNT_formula-sum(G$2:G2) -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP "Bob" wrote in message ... I have two cells containing the DCOUNT function.
