This is what Sheet1 of my Excel Workbook looks like: A B C D E 1 POSITION HIRING BENEFITS 2 Cashier Open Yes 3 Cashier Open No 4 Cashier Closed Yes 5 Cashier Closed No 6 Manager Open Yes 7 Manager Open No 8 Manager Open Yes 9 Manager Closed No This is what Sheet2 of my Excel Workbook looks like: A B 1 POSITION HIRING OPEN AND BENEFITS YES 2 Cashier 1 3 Manager 2 What is the formula necessary to calculate cells B2 and B3 on Sheet2? I do not want to have to rearrange my rows or columns or alter my sheets in any way, other than entering formulas in cells B2 and B3 of Sheet2. |

I can't figure out a way to do it, and I went so far as to play around with array formulas. The easiest way I could come up with to do it is to add an F column that has: =CONCATENATE(A2,B2,E2). Then, in Sheet 2, to do: B2 =COUNTIF(F:F,"CashierOpenYes") C2 =COUNTIF(F:F,"ManagerOpenYes") Otherwise, maybe a macro would work. But Excel is pretty limited in its abilities to create loops in formulas to iterate through the three IF statements per line. |

Hi, Put this in cell b2 on sheet2: =SUM(IF(Sheet1!A2:A9=a2,1,0)*IF(Sheet1!B2:B9="Open",1,0)*IF(Sheet1!E2:E9="Yes",1,0)) then INSTEAD of pressing enter press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. And for cell b3, put this: =SUM(IF(Sheet1!A2:A9=a3,1,0)*IF(Sheet1!B2:B9="Open",1,0)*IF(Sheet1!E2:E9="Yes",1,0)) again, INSTEAD of pressing enter press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. if you do it correct and press ctrl+shift+enter, you will see {=SUM(IF(Sheet1!A2:A9=a3,1,0)*IF(Sheet1!B2:B9="Open",1,0)*IF(Sheet1!E2:E9="Yes",1,0))} in the formula bar if you do it wrong, then it will show the wrong value |

Thanks furrycushion! It works and it's perfect! But you're not a ga researcher and can't claim the prize huh? Sorry joey, needed an answer that did not require adding additional rows and columns. |
