    Count days falling within given period (with criteria)(absence tracker)

    Hi everyone,

    Searched this forum and couldn't find a solution.
    I am trying to create an absence tracker.

    Have several types of absence.
    Have multiple periods.
    Have multiple employees.

    What formula would you suggest here.

    I have:

    What I am trying to achieve is:
    criteria:
    1. Search absence period: dynamic (drop down)
    2. Search absence type: dynamic (drop down)
    3. Search employee: dynamic (drop down)


    records of absence:
    always between dates
    outcome:
    count number of days of absence
    if absence starts on or after given month start date, and
    if absence ends on or before given month end date

    if absence belongs to employee X
    if absence is of type X
    further outcome:
    if there are absences which started before given month and ended before month end or after month end
    then count them as well.

    workbook attached.
    Hope you can guide me thank youCapture1.PNG

    The formula is not so short, but seems it works. Unfortunately countif is useless here, as it counts occurences while you need not number but total length of such events.
    It takes into account absence which started before first date, but continued into (or even after) current month, as well as started current month and finished after eomonth.

    If you limit only to absences started and finished within the month boundaries, it will be much shorter:

    Instead of sumproduct regular sum could be used, but then the formula needs to be array committed, so confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you could get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Please try
    =SUM(TEXT(IF(H3:H9>EOMONTH(C2,0),EOMONTH(C2,0),H3:H9)-IF(G3:G9<C2,C2,G3:G9)+1,"0;\0;0")*(F3:F9=C4)*(I3:I9=C3))
    Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    or
    =SUMPRODUCT(TEXT(1+TEXT(H3:H9,"[>="&EOMONTH(C2,0)&"]"&SUBSTITUTE(EOMONTH(C2,0),0,"\0")&";0")-TEXT(G3:G9,"[<"&C2&"]"&SUBSTITUTE(C2,0,"\0")&";0"),"0;\0;0")*(F3:F9=C4)*(I3:I9=C3))

    Normal enter
