Hi,
As the title says, I need to count every 5th cell if the cell value = 0.
I had something something similar on another sheet:
=SUM(IF(MOD(COLUMN($M4:$FO4),3)=0,$M4:$FO4,0))
But my poor brain couldn't modify it. Any help appreciated! The cell references don't matter, I can sort those.
Cheers

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook. Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

I'm not sure why you have a 3 in the MOD term - shouldn't this be 5 ?
Also, this will add the contents of the cells if they are zero (i.e. it will result in zero) - if you want to count the cells then you only need 1, like this:
=SUM(IF(MOD(COLUMN($M4:$FO4),5)=0,1,0))
Note also that this is an array formula. If you are using XL2019, as your profile says, then you will need to commit the formula using the key combination of CTRL-SHIFT-Enter, instead of the usual Enter.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, change that to this:
=SUM(IF((MOD(COLUMN($M4:$FO4),5)=0)*($M4:$FO4=0),1,0))
You still need to use Ctrl-Shift-Enter to commit the formula.
Hope this helps.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I wanted it to count the number of zeros, but I think your formula sums them. Not sure it then worked when I changed it to COUNT or COUNTIF.
I've attached a spreadsheet to show how it vaguely looks in my original.
A3=COUNTIFS(E3:AH3,0,E$1:AH$1,">0")
Try the above, copy and paste towards down

Hah! Nice bit of lateral thinking. ThanksOriginally Posted by samba_ravi
If its possible there are also zero's between the green cells that shouldn't be count, please try in A3 and copy down:Formula:
