    Count the Names in a Column based on another Column

    Hi,

    I'm using this formula to count the number of times this statement is in Column "D"
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    What I really need is to count the names of the pickers in column"E" If the word in Column "D" is "Picker"

    Can someone advise?

    Thank You, Mike

    Can you give an example of what you mean by names of the pickers in Column E?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    In Column E I have people's names for example

    D..........................E
    Picker...................Jim
    Lift Driver.............Tom
    Picker...................Bill
    Picker...................
    Lift Driver.............

    With my current formula it would sum up to 3 in the example above.

    When really it should be 2. Because although I have 3 Picker spots I only have 2 filled.

    Hope that helps. Thank you, Mike

    Then try:

    =Sumproduct(--($D2:$D1000="Picker"),--($E2:$E1000<>""))
