Problem with SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET) Formula
Hi everyone, I am analyzing a lot of Likert-scale data in excel. One tab (labeled "Raw Data") is where the data is input and can be filtered. Another tab (labeled "Likert Analysis") is where I have ...
- The formula can be fixed to not return an error, but it's hard to say if that is what you want as you've not stated what you're trying to calculate. As it stands, it appears the formula will count the number of 5's in Column F and multiply that count by the number of visible rows in the filtered range, which seems odd.
By chance, are you trying to count the number of 5's in Column F that are visible (perhaps some are invisible due to filters applied to other columns)? If so, then I think this is what you want (hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter after copying/typing into the formula bar):
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$150=5),SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET('Raw Data'!$F$2,ROW('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$150)-ROW('Raw Data'!$F$2),0,1,1)))

I apologize for not attempting your formula prior to my previous reply but YES! This is EXACTLY what I was needing!! THANK YOU!
- No worries. I'm glad that worked for you.
Hello JMB17,
In attempts to understand the formula more, could I ask for an explanation of the formula's parts? I am hoping I can understand it and manipulate it for other needs (e.g., I need to know the total number of surveys. So, I hope I can I change it to just return cells that have anything in them from the filtered data on column E [Respondent ID]). I figured out how to manipulate the formula to collect the number of responses containing 4, 3, 2, and 1!
- If you just need the total number of items in the filtered range, then I think
=SUBTOTAL(3,'Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$150)
should do the trick.
