    Question FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    Hello, I'm new to this forum and just started a job in excelthings.

    I have a whole table of multiple (3565) different orders coming from a "couple" (110) of producers.
    I would like to get the frequency of these orders per producer but depending of the place where this order was set AND who transports the order, which are in different columns.
    => How many times did transporter A move an order from producer B (IF 1) too place C (IF 2)
    I found a formula to implement 1 IF in the frequency formula but not multiple. This seems more difficult because of the way the IFS formula is set up. (test1, result1, test2, result2,...) since I only want 1 result I don't know how to proceed.

    i hope my question is somewhat logical.

    thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Maybe if you can attach a sample workbook showing your desired result someone can derive a formula.

    Thanks

    Re: FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply, I think a sample size is a good idea since I don't even get my explanation lol

    So the idea is to have the number of "producers" a transporter worked with in a departement.

    For example: Dandilan worked with 3 producers in the departement 11
    Logistics worked with 2 producers in the departement 11
    Dandilan worked with 1 producers in the departement 13
    I would like a formula that gives me the number 3; 2; 1

    Hi again,

    I put your sample data in a workbook (preferred method for formula help). Using a countifs might be a solution:

    Re: FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    Hi, you are one dedicated bro :D

    using your function you do not include the different producers which is the main part of the problem.
    The number 3 for dandilan is not just because it transported 3 times in the 11th departement but because it was with 3 different producers: Jules de Trooz, Caramba and Stylo
    i don't think you can implement this in a countif as well, would be dope tho.

    Thank you so much for the follow ups tho

    Re: FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    Okay I attached a revision showing what I think you want. If you put Department in F2 and Transporter in G2 the below array will fill all occurrences with the Names of Producers that match that criteria. Cell H2 will show the number of occurrences.

    Re: FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    Hello guys

    Thanks for the replies.
    The formula you suggested xjohnson is a bit too complicated to implement in a table with 3535 rows. Also is the whole idea a bit too much for my knowledge. Thank you tho

    The formula by Caracalla does work and I was able to implement it but only on 1 column. I don't get everything you put into it and I think I have to change something to make it work in other columns as well.
    Concreet: I have arranged the different transporters in different columns and in the rows the different departments. I changed the cells to refer to the right transporter and departement but it doesn't work.
    Is there something in the lines "ROW" I have to change as well? It is this part I don't get in the formula.

    I hope you can still follow my drift.

    THankss

    Hi

    Try to provide a small data sample (~20 rows) along with expected result.

    Re: FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    Sean,

    It is not that complicated all you have to do is to copy the formula in F5 in my example then press ctrl+shift+enter to make it an array. This will put the curly brackets at the beginning and end of the formula. Then drag it across, then drag it down to fill the range of the possible number of outcomes you may have. This could be any amount so make it 25 to be sure.

    Learn from the example as far as the cell numbers and where they are you can do it!

    Re: FREQUENCY function with multiple IFS

    IT FINALLY WORKED!!

    Thanks all for the help it was a hassle and wouldn't have done it without both of you.
    In the end the problem with the columns was that my department numbers weren't stored as numbers but as text. Stupid but not my fault lol

    If you have a bit more time I would like an explanation for the last part of the code: ROW($D$2:$D$19)-ROW($D$2)+1),1)) which I don't get.

    But still thanks
