Jun 17, 2013I have a column filled dates in the format 01 January 2013 and I want a formula to count all the cells containing "January" for example.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build a function, but I haven't been able to successfully navigate some of the eccentricities of Excel formula-building.
Right now I am working on counting all of the cells that contain numbers (so likely just a =COUNT function), but will be eventually getting other descriptive stats as well. My problem is that I would like to create a formula that will perform the counting/mean calculation, etc., but only on a specific column that has the header cell that contains several specific words. Rather than having to type in the target words for each column, I would like to have the target words in the function be imported from multiple designated cells.
For example,
I want to find how many numbered cells are found in column E headed as "dog brown," but I also have columns headed as "cat brown" "dog black" etc. (which I will be using the formula on later) to paint a small picture, in my descriptive table, "dog" is in B31 and "brown" is in C30, then "cat" in B32 and "black" in D30.
I need a a formula that will count the number of times a word or phrase appears in a column of cells and assign a number
For example....
Big Red Ford Truck = 1
Ford Truck = 3
Red Ford Truck = 2
After i get the formula, I can sort by "greater than 2"

123
Afghanistan
0.07
=MAX((B2:B30000="*Afghanistan*")*(C2:C30000))
[code].....
I am trying to find the Maximum Value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan but NOT Mobile.
In a second cell I also want to find the maximum value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan" AND "Mobile"
The code I have come up with is in the table however it is only showing the max value for cells containing "Afghanistan". If I add the wildcard "*" it does not return a value. how I can achieve my objectives?
I want to count words given two criteria.
So I basically want to combine the COUNTA function and the COUNTIFS function.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet in the post.
Test Excel.xlsx
However I have survey data results and in one of the cells it has multiple values which are separated between ; and some are not separated at all e.g B&Q; The Range; Wicks The Garden Shop
Also there are spelling mistakes everywhere and variation of the word B&Q e.g b+q, B n Q
I need to add count up all of the B&Q, Wicks etc...
I currently have this code for counting commas in each cell in range giving me the total number of different points in the entire row. Here's the link to the original question as well.
Code:
Sub Totals()
Dim X As Long, Count As Variant
Sheets("App Communication").Select
For X = 3 To 59
Count = UBound(Split(Application.Trim(Replace(Replace(Application.Trim(Join(Application. _
Index(Cells(X, "E").Resize(, 57).Value, 1, 0), ",")), " ", "X"), ",", " ")))) + 1
Cells(X, "BJ").Value = Left(Count, CLng(Count))
Next
End Sub
Now I am looking for a way to count the number of points that have been turned blue. Some times the text in the whole cell is turned blue, others just one or two of the points is turned blue.
How can I count the number of gaps (spaces) of a string? (Adding one we have number of words!). I need to save the position of each gap (space) on a array. How can I do it? With InStr()? The variable (string) that i'm working is GlbTargetRange.Value
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table of numbers with conditional formating, formula's are...
=COUNTIF(OFFSET($W3:$AB3,1,0),W3+1)+COUNTIF(OFFSET($W3:$AB3,1,0),W3-1) - color, lemon.
=COUNTIF(OFFSET($W3:$AB3,-1,0),W3+1)+COUNTIF(OFFSET($W3:$AB3,-1,0),W3-1) - color, light blue.
Column AC, I want to count the number of cells that are lemon for each row.
Column AD, I want to count the number of cells that are light blue for each row.
Is it possible?
I have a simple date formula that I want to present "yes" in a cell when another cells date is less then or equal to "Today". I just can't figure out how to make it show my result cell as blank if my date cell is blank?
here is my formula....
=IF(G8 <= TODAY(), "YES", "")
I would like a formula which will look at a range of cells, for instance a2:g2 and count how many of the cells contents are the same. The cells contain a combination of text and numbers.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for the easiest way to count the number of occurrences within a cell range.
The formula that I'm currently using is:
=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,"a*")
This counts the number of cells that start with 'a' and returns the sum. It seems to work fine, but when I try to make it look for more values in the range it gives me an error. For example;
When I want to find multiple values in the range and count them all, I use this formula:
=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,OR("a*","b*","c*"))
I have the following formula which counts number of days between dates in two adjacent cells excluding holidays
=NETWORKDAYS(U311,V311,$AA$4:$AA$14)-1
The $AA$4:$AA$14 refers tote range where the excluded holiday dates are stored.
I have included the -1 at the end as it over counts by one day every time. i.e. if the same date is in both cells it counts 1
However if no date is in both fields it count -1 (minus one)
If a date is just in one field it counts a very high number, example below.
-1
16/07/2014
-29879
20/06/2014
08/07/2014
12
[code].....
is there a better formula to use for this? How do I get the result to show ZERO when both cells are empty? can I get the result to show number of days to present date where there is only a date in first column?
I was given this spreadsheet to count attendance by entering the entry date and exit day, however it's counting the first day and the last. I'm needing it to only count the first day and not the exit day.Book2.xls

View 3 Replies View Relatedim currently wonderin if the SUMIF function can have a WHERE syntax?
because i want to add up cells which contain these:
A B
1 VC-ON US 2
2 MC-ON US 5
3 MC-OFF US (STD) 8
4 VC-OFF US (PREM) 9
in another separate cell, i want to retrieve the sum of numbers with the words ON US in column A. so the final result will be 7.
I have a column of words in Column A and I want to replace all the times that these words appear in the rest of the excel sheet with the words in Column B. If someone has already answered a similar problem link me to the thread because I can't find anything.

There are five levels of Performance.
Not Evident(o), Emerging(1),Operational(2),Highly Functional(4),Exemplary(5)
There are ten rows of Categories of Performance.
There is one final column of Performance Summary for each category.
There are seven columns that are report sources of Performance.
There is one final row of Performance Summary for each report source.
There is one cell that is a final Summary of Performance Overall.
The cells have drop down lists of words only.
I need the Summary cells to show the result of calculation of the average for each row and column.
I have a list of names, some have first name and surname (in the same cell), and some just have first name.
Is there anything I can do to only show the cells that contain a first name and surname?
I'm looking to take words which are originally in their own separate cells and "combining" the words all into one single cell.

I have hundreds of file names, and to cut a long explanation short, they are exported as a CSV file to excel. In order indentify the owner of the file I need to rename the file with a commar where you see the dash or the underscore in order to have the name appear in the next cell, as can be seen with Syma and Kevin below, so I can then sort the columns etc etc.
I know there is a formula that I can use to achieve this, ie have syma.pdf and kevinc.pdf in the next cell.
I think it works on identifying how many characters along the name and then send i to the next cell.
as you can see below, there is no set amount of characters to put into a formula.
Could I say, for example, if after dash /underscore put next word in next cell?
