using content of a cell in a formula in another cell
I am trying to use the value on one cell to form the range part an a countif
formula in another cell like this: =COUNTIF(Actions!I2:I&"C2","*all*") where C2 is the cell in the current worksheet whose contents (currently 20) I want to use. The contents will change periodically. The formula that I want evaluated would look like: =COUNTIF(Actions!I2:I20,"*all*") Anyone have a suggestion, please? |
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Actions!I2:I"&C2),"*all*")
or =COUNTIF(OFFSET(I2,,,C2-1),"*all*") HTH Jason Atlanta, GA -----Original Message----- I am trying to use the value on one cell to form the range part an a countif formula in another cell like this: =COUNTIF(Actions!I2:I&"C2","*all*") where C2 is the cell in the current worksheet whose contents (currently 20) I want to use.

A couple of ways
=COUNTIF(OFFSET(Actions!$I$2,,,C2+1,),"*all*") =COUNTIF(INDEX(Actions!I2:I10000,):INDEX(Actions!I 2:I10000,C2),"*all*") the latter is not volatile although a bit longer, it can also be written as =COUNTIF(INDEX(Actions!I:I,2):INDEX(Actions!I:I,C2 +2),"*all*") where the 2 and +2 indicates the range starts in row 2 of column I Regards, Peo Sjoblom "mpierre" wrote: I am trying to use the value on one cell to form the range part an a countif formula in another cell like this: =COUNTIF(Actions!I2:I&"C2","*all*") where C2 is the cell in the current worksheet whose contents (currently 20) I want to use.
