I'm trying to formulate something that will count how many times say 5 comes up in a =randbetween(1,20) function. Of course if I do =(IF(A1=5,1,"") it will count it, but once the randbetween recalculates it will reset. Is there any way to do this so it keeps a cumulative count?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm putting together a database in Excel and there is a particular item that I am having trouble with. I need to count the frequency of occurences in between events over a series of cells.
This:
ABBBAABBAB
Needs to be tracked like this:
ABABAB132211
Basically I need to write it so that when A occurs it counts how many times B occurs immediately after, until the next A. Once that is figured out I should be ok counting double A occurences.
how to count unique Occurneces in Excel?
For example: -
What formula can I use to count the Unique Occurences non - zero values in Column 2 for the letters in Column 1?
Column 1 Column 2
A 1
A 1
A 1
B 0
C 2

how many dates appear in a column. I have a spreadsheet wherein when a name is encoded in column A, the date is automatically logged in column B. Now, i need to count how many of those dates occurred in column B.
For the month of May - how many 1 May 2007, 2 May 2007...an so on.
After that - i need to match those dates to the name of the encoder and a another encoded status. It's like - 1 May 2007+john+approved = 1 occurence. I need to count them separately and combined.
I’m looking for a formula that will count the number of occurrences of “YES” in column A between a specific date range (column B) BUT only if the it's categorized as "LAB" (column C).
Up until now I’ve jerry rigged the spread sheet to do it with various filters, if, and countif formulas but I’m looking for something that will fit in one cell and lower the overall size of the file.
To make it even more complicated I’d like to feed the formula the date range information from another editable cell so that it can basically be queried for whatever dates my boss is concerned about at that second.
I have been struggling for almost 2 days with this problem.
I have a list of data, one column of which is the date displayed in dd/mmm/yy format.
This date will always be entered by users and is variable.
I can't find a way of counting the number of occurences of each month and each day that the date represents.
So, I want to know how many occurences of March, June, May, Septemeber etc are on this list and Mondays, Tuesdays, etc.
I have tried several posssible routes, DCOUNT DCOUNTA COUNT COUNTIF SUM. I've also tried separating the date out into days & months using the MONTH & DAY functions but this didn't work either.
It also apepars (shock horror) that Excel has incorrect date & day values because entering todays date in one cell (11/05/2006) and then using the DAY function to find the day of the week for this date produces WED when it should be THU. (My system date is set as 1 Jan 1900).
I feel that Excel can't separate the months & days away from the date, since the date is stored as a numerical value and not as we humans use dates.
The dates will always be manually entered by users, probably as dd-mm and Excel will automatically add in the year.
How can I count the occurences of each month and days of the week?
i have a spreadsheet that contains a column for each day and i need to input the count from another tab for certain data...example as follows:
column A shows types of fruit - apples, bananas or oranges, row 1 contains the date (todays date, weekdays only) - the count of each fruit needs to be entered in rows 2 (apples), 3 (bananas) & 4 (oranges) for each fruit for each date
i copy and paste a daily report into a new tab in this workbook -Raw Data (the data is always in the same format and the info i need is in column J...."555" = apples, "666" = bananas & 777" = oranges)
i have used the below formula which works:
apples =COUNTIF('Raw Data'!$J$5:$J$65536,"555") etc
however the daily report that is pasted into the Raw Data tab only relates to the current day (date is present in this tab in A1)...how do i get each daily column to only display a count if the date in row 1 matches the date in Raw Data tab A1?
also how do i keep the previous days' data to keep what the count was for that day (instead of counting the current count of the new data only relevent for today)?
I have a list and the list contains the same string multiple times. I am trying to take that list and print it in column D and then list in column E the number of times that string appears in column A. S for example I would like the list to output
Col A | Col B| ....| Col D | Col E |
String1__________String1 3
String1__________String2 1
String1__________String3 2
String2
String3
String3
I have a row containing:
Date entered
Name
Date of Birth (DOB)
Occurrences of Name + DOB this Month
Occurrences of Name + DOB within last 3 Months
Occurrences of Name + DOB within last 6 Months
I can manage the occurrences this month but haven't a clue how to calculate the 3 and 6 months ones. I have attached a sheet.
I've tried everything I know (which isnt that much to be honest. lol). Ive tried the frequency formula but that doesn't work the way I want it - I think its probably the wrong formula to use. I've also tried a pivot table but they always vex me. If a pivot table IS the way to go, could someone talk me through it step by step? (*the wizard is just as confusing as doing it yourself I find) ....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet for tracking jobs. Most everything is based off of week # rather than date. I am trying to get the stats page of the workbook to tally the total number of late jobs per week.The current week is taken care of because there is a function that automatically displays on time yes or no and I just set it to count the yeses or nos.The problem I am having is for past weeks.
I tried- =COUNTIF(Table2[On-time],"No"+(CountIF(Table2[Week # Hidden],"<Weeknum(Now())" but that doesn't work. I also tried isolating the < like this. =COUNTIF(Table2[On-time],"No"+(CountIF(Table2[Week # Hidden],"<"Weeknum(Now()) and that did not work either.
------ UPDATE
In response to using CountIFS I have also tried-
=COUNTIFS(Table2[On-time],"NO",Table2[Due Week '# Hidden],"<Weeknum(Now())") this just returns a zero value even when I have a late job listed three weeks ago.

I have tried numerous formulas from the various discussions and I can't find
any that works.
How do I create a formula that will count the number of times in F7:H106,
where the number "0" occurred and had a value of "1" to occur
in the previous row in the range, if no number "1" in previous row
then ""

if G22=0 and G21=1, then count 1

My data is as follows:
Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Number of Starts 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
Rolling Number of Cases 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 120 120 120 120 120
In my dataset above the cases finish after 12 months (hence why there is a maximum number of cases).
What I am seeking is a method to count along a certain number of cells, then sum the contents of those. For example, I would like to count the contents of up to 12 cells, then sum those 12 cells.
Where it gets difficult is as follows:
- In month 6, I am just counting the contents of 6 cells (months 1-6)
- In month 12, I am counting the contents of 12 cells (months 1 -12)
- In month 18, I am counting the contents of 12 cells (month 7 - 18)
I need a formula, from which I need to drag (if needed) and to fill with numbers, by following principles:
- when the left cell contain the zero, it needs to find on the same column if there exists another zero, or another one and count them, let's say if find three zeros untill find number one, return 3.
- when find a number 1, after another 1, has to return a zero.
- the formula need to initialise from the top of the column, only finds the first number 1.
I have a relevant example down bellow. I used to count them visually and sometimes errors sneak into my spreadsheets.
I have a table like this.........

water _ 2 0 1 1
milk ___0 2 3 1
I am trying to calculate the number of months between two given dates.
The spreadsheet is basically about staff and their start and end dates.
For example start dates would be in colum A and end dates would be in column B (in dd/mm/yyyy format).
I am currently using the following formula:
=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")
It does return the correct results when the dates are the same e.g. start date = 01/01/2006 and end date = 01/04/2006 = 3 months.
BUT when I change the end date to 31/03/2006, it returns as 2 months.
Is there a way around this? I need a more accurate number of months (with no decimal places)
If I generate a random number in cell A1 ranging from 1 to 3. Can I count how many times the result is equal to 2 if I was to run it 100 times and then show the results in cell A3.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel list with 3 columns (date, comment, cost):
I'm continously adding new entries to the list and want to see the average cost per month without remembering how many different months I already entered.
For this I need the number of months extraced from the date-column so I can devide the cost total by the numer of months.
The date format is dd.mm.yy
I want to have the number of used columns in a worksheet. The information will be used to understand what range the data is in. So for the rows I am using nRows = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(myRange). I am hoping to have something similar for the columns.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have excel sheets with 71936 rows of data collected ~30 times a second for 40 minutes during and driving simulator drive (for 51 participants! all in separate worksheets). The output I get from the simulator includes speed, lane position etc. I've been averaging the data out into minute blocks for most variables, but what I really need to know is: if they exit the "lane" for more than 3 seconds, and if so, how many times they exit the lane in each minute.
Column A is the minute, column B is their lane position. Lane position ranges from -540 to 540. The middle of the left hand lane is -180 (the left hand lane ranges from -360 to 0 - we drive on the left in Australia). If they exit the left hand side of the lane, the lane position value will be between -360 and-540, and if they exit the right hand side the lane position value is 0 or greater.
A formula in a new column that can give a "1" each time they exit the lane for more than 3 seconds would be great, then I think I can make it sum how many times they do it in each minute.
I would like to count the number of instances of different schedules shows in one department. For example for dept. 1, I would like to know how many different schedules are in that dept. I have 48 schedules and 60 departments (numbered 1-60). I would like to know how many "different schedules" dept 1 has and so on. I don't think the frequency function will work. Is there a way I can use sumproduct to get the result I'm looking for? The information is on a separate worksheet in colums (Col. A holds the dept and Col. B holds the relative schedule).

This list goes on with every workday of the month repeat several times, with no day have any set number of entries. Also each new month is just tacked on to the previous list. All of this is in column A but there are many other columns of data with these dates. I just didn't see the need to replicate that here.
What I need is to be able to count the number of unique days per each month but I do not want to have to specify a range for the month of January, then another range for February, etc. I just want to be able to list the column A4:A1200 and have the formula select just the unique days for January. Then in another cell modify the formula for unique days in February and so on.
Probably missing something obvious here but I'm trying to determine the number of different results in column B where the citeria in column A is the same. For example, for the attached table the result for V00013 would be 4.

I am looking for a method to count the number of amounts in an addition.
For example, let's assume that A1 contains 354.92+29+84.7+45 That addition contains a total of four different amounts that have been added So, I am looking for a formula that will display the total number of amounts (4) in a different cell.
Another example:
A1 -> 75+9+237
A2 should show -> 3
