I am trying to isolate data in a spreadsheet used to track requests for
information. To produce cummulative report, I have used the formula
=COUNTIF(Tracker!$G$2:$G$2000,A2)
where Column G has the person to whom the request has been assigned, and
A2:A12 are the names of the person. This provides me with a running total
throughout the year.
However, I now need to produce a monthly report to check how many requests
have been assigned in a particular month. I've tried:
=SUM(COUNTIF(Tracker!$G$2:$G$2000,A6)-(Countif(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000,MONTH($C$1))+(Count if((Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000)<MONTH($F$1)))
where Colomn H is the date when request was allocated and C1 and F1 are the
perimetres for the report (ie start and finish dates)

It looks like the Countif function doesn't like the "<" or "" in the
criteria. Does anyone have a solution?

Many thanks!
Vibeke

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Tracker!$G$2:$G$2000,A6),
--(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000MONTH($C$1)),
--(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000<MONTH($F$1)))

Hi Bob, and many thanks for your time. However, your suggestion returns
#VALUE!.

I've toyed with variations on SUMPRODUCT, but am not sure it is the function
I need. I'm looking for a formula that will count all the instances of
'Vibeke' (or A6) in Tracker-Column G, and then subtract from that total any
instances that don't occur in a particular month (Tracker-Column H, d-mmm-yy
format) - hence my attempt to COUNTIF(Vibeke) minus COUNTIF(doesn't occur in
end/start dates)

My apologies for not articulating my query clearly.
Regards,
Vibeke

The formula does what you want, or would do without my typo

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Tracker!$G$2:$G$2000=A6),
--(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000MONTH($C$1)),
--(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000<MONTH($F$1)))

Is H2:H2000 month numbers or true dates, this formula checks month numbers?

Yes - now I see it WOULD work, but I neglected to mention that H2:H2000 are
true dates, not month numbers. I should have mentioned that the Tracker
worksheet is used to calculate the number of working days between a request
for info being allocated to a person, and the date of response (with
conditional formatting to highlight whenever a request if overdue).

Your suggestion has given me some ideas to work on, but if this information
inspires any new ideas for you, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Again, many thanks.

THIS WORKS!!


=SUMPRODUCT(--(Tracker!$G$2:$G$2000=A6),--(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000($C$1)),--(Tracker!$H$2:$H$2000<($F$1)))

Many thanks! (Your help means I've stuck to my non-smoking vow...but it was
getting close to breach)
