    If cells contain M then only look at them

    Hi all,

    I am trying to make some analysis a little easier and wondered if you could help. On the "Analysis" tab I would like to be able to show a number and a percentage for each of the categories in column A.

    So for example column E3 should work out that the number of males in the class (those who have "M" in column B on Sheet1 who are "Above Target" is 0 and 0%.

    As I grow the spreadsheet I will also have a "Below" section. So for example LAP students on the Analysis tab who are "Below" target will show as 4 students and 36%

    I just need help with the formula so I can grow the spreadsheet from there.

    Many thanks for your help.

    *Edit - ignore this, it didn't work

    Ah sorry, worked it out
    =IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!B2:B35,"m"),COUNTIF(Sheet1!AB2:AB36,"Above"))

    Perhaps a Pivot Table

    v A B C D
    3 Gender Abililty Group :Key Stage 2 Data Count of EAL Count of Gender
    4 F
    5 HAP 1 1
    6 LAP 2 6
    7 MAP 4
    8 (blank) 1 2
    9 F Total 4 13
    10 M
    11 HAP 1
    12 LAP 5
    13 MAP 1 4
    14 (blank) 1 3
    15 M Total 2 13

    Actually my way didn't work, for some reason it is giving me the answer 6 whether I put in M of F

    Re: If cells contain M then only look at them

    Many thanks for your help Alan, I like the way that looks, but I really don't understand pivot tables. Is there a way to make them show all of the following categories and the breakdown of Above, On, Below and Sig below target? along with percentages?

    Categories:
    Males
    Females
    HAP
    MAP
    LAP
    EAL
    PP
    SEN

    Thanks

    Turns out this was what I was looking for:

    =COUNTIFS(Sheet1!B2:B35,"m",Sheet1!AB2:AB35,"on")
