Excel formula

Hi

I have a column with 66 entries of different areas of m2. How can I sort these into 5 groups, ie. under 100, 100-500, 500-1000,1000-10,000, 10,000+. Thanks

    You could create a pivot table based on the data.

    Add the new column to both the Rows area and the Values area.

     

    Or use formulas such as

     

    =COUNTIFS(A2:A67, "<100")

    =COUNTIFS(A2:A67, ">=100", A2:A67, "<500")

    =COUNTIFS(A2:A67, ">=500", A2:A67, "<1000")

    =COUNTIFS(A2:A67, ">=1000", A2:A67, "<10000")

    =COUNTIFS(A2:A67, ">=10000")

    Let's say the entries begin in A2.

    In another cell in row 2, enter the formula

     

    =LOOKUP(A2,{0,100,500,1000,10000},{"under 100","100-500","500-1000","1000-10,000","10,000+"})

     

    This can be filled down.

      HansVogelaar Thanks, so clever, that worked by spilling over the range each cell falls into, but gives me 67 results of each range. Can I now find out how many are in each of the 5 ranges? Thanks
