Only including cells containing certain words / numbers in formula?
I have a new job as a sepsis specialist nurse. At the end of the month, using all the data inputted throughout the month, I have to work out how many high risk patients received IV antibiotics within 1 hours. I would greatly appreciate your help, as I have never worked with Excel before
So the calculation I'm after would be as follows:
Only include only patients categorized as HIGH (column I) which contains either High or Low. Of these I need to take any patient with 01:00 (1 hour) or less (Column Q). Then divide by the total amount of High risk patients to give me a percentage of patients that received IV antibiotics within 1 hour. Hope that makes sense
Thanks for your help

- Thank you. This is very much appreciated.
Create this formula:
=COUNTIFS(I2:I1000, "HIGH", Q2:Q1000, "<="&TIME(1, 0, 0))/COUNTIFS(I2:I1000, "HIGH")
If your data extend below row 1000, adjust the ranges accordingly.
Format the cell with the formula as a percentage.
- If I needed to work out the percentage under 90 minutes, what would I change in the formula?
90 minutes is 1 hour and 30 minutes, so change TIME(1, 0, 0) to TIME(1, 30, 0)
- This is great, thank you, works perfectly!
