Count a Value When Sorted
Hi! I simply need to count the number of times "N" appears in a column but have it updated to the accurate count once another column is sorted. Why can't I figure out what is probably pretty easy?????
- Hi
Use this formula
=COUNTIF(A1:A22,"N")- Thank you. Could you also tell me how I can combine two (or more) IF-Sections. In the case at hand I would like to count the number of the combination of "N" in Column A for example and "Y" in Column B for example.
- Ok maybe i'm explaining poorly. I have another formula in another cell written as: =SUBTOTAL(3,B5:B104)
This formula will count the number of cells present after sorting. For this new formula, I want to do the same thing where it counts the number of cells but ONLY if the cell reads "N". And I want it do count the cells with "N" even after another column has sorted the table so that the number of cells reading N might now be lower....I have another formula in another cell written as: =SUBTOTAL(3,B5:B104)
This formula will count the number of cells present after sorting.No. The SUBTOTAL() result does NOT change after sorting.
As for the function SUBTOTAL() take a look at the online help:
Function_num Required. The number 1-11 or 101-111 that specifies the function to use for the subtotal. 1-11 includes manually-hidden rows, while 101-111 excludes them; filtered-out cells are always excluded.
So you might need function_num 103 instead of 3.
