    COUNTIFS is not able to solve the task

    Hello.
    In cell B15, I need a formula that will count the employees who worked together in a given period in one workday (see attachment).
    Best regards

    Re: COUNTIFS is not able to solve the task

    Are you still using Excel 2010? Why have you posted in the VBA section if you want a formula? Shall I move the thread for you?

    Try this:

    =SUMPRODUCT(((B$4:B$11<=C13)*(C$4:C$11>B13)+((B$4:B$11<=C13)+(C$4:C$11>B13))*(C$4:C$11<B$4:B$11))*(B$4:B$11<>""))

    Re: COUNTIFS is not able to solve the task

    Glenn, You are right, my formula doesn't consider times crossing midnight.

    Nevertheless, OP's data doesn't happen this situation.

    Re: COUNTIFS is not able to solve the task

    Dear Glenn Kenned, dear "windknif"

    The problem in both previous formulas is in the counting as soon as the start time is entered. Formulas are in E15 and E16.

    Add the bit in red:

    =IF(COUNTA($C$4:$C$11)=0,0,SUMPRODUCT(((B$4:B$11<=C13)*(C$4:C$11>B13)+((B$4:B$11<=C13)+(C$4:C$11>B13))*(C$4:C$11<B$4:B$11))*(B$4:B$11<>"")*($C$4:$C$11<>"")))
