Count, Countif, Sumif??

[benjam_in]

Right I've got a table that contains a lot of text that i need to summarse in another table. Its really just two columns the first contains a group name and the second a result. What I need to work out is the number of times the result occurs for each group. But every work sheet function I've entered fails.

Hi

=SUMPRODUCT(--(GroupRange=GroupName),--(ResultRange=ResultValue))

Try the pivot table wizard. This is a great way to summarize and count
when you've got multiple groups.

Tried that didnt seem to work, got #NUM! error. Both the group and the results are text.

assuming that your data is on Sheet2!a2:b100

=sumproduct(--(a2:a100="group")*(b2:100))

I have responded with an example on OzGrid. No need to post all over the
place.
