    Collaborating Information Between Sheets in a Workbook

    I am new to the forum and have self taught what I know about excel, and have seemed to stumped myself on this one. I am formatting a spreadsheet to track fabrication progress, individual welder welds, and individual welder repairs with repair rate. I will attach a sample and try to describe what I am attempting to do.

    On the first sheet (Log) in column 'D' an ID number will be input using a data validation drop down box. On the second sheet (Stats), I have names in column 'A', their ID # in column 'B', and total weld count in column 'C'. What I want to happen is when I select an ID number from the drop down list in column 'D' on the Log sheet for the particular weld, I want it to add to that welder's total weld count on the Stats Sheet. Is this possible, and if so, how?

    Also, on the Stats Sheet I have a column for 'repairs' and would like for the spreadsheet to add to the total for that ID number's repairs when I select 'Yes' from my data validation drop down box on the Log Sheet. It would be easy to do this manually as we rarely have repairs but if it's possible to do, I would like to.

    I am using 2003 version.. boooo... but have the latest and greatest on my Home PC and can work on it there if it makes it easier.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who takes time to assist. It is greatly appreciated!

    Re: Collaborating Information Between Sheets in a Workbook

    I think i understand what you are looking for, try this.

    in column D:
    =COUNTIF(Log!D:D,Stats!C3)

    In column E:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(Log!D5:D10000=Stats!C3),--(Log!H5:H10000="Yes"))

    let me know if that works for you

    Thank you Chandrajit. In the spreadsheet that I am currently using and was looking off of when I was typing my question, have the columns as I described above. I should have reviewed it a little better before I attached it. Again, thank you for pointing that out and for your time reviewing my issue.

    Re: Collaborating Information Between Sheets in a Workbook

    Dgagnon,

    Thank you very much for your time and suggestion. Last night I input the formulas onto the example spreadsheet on my home PC with 2007 version and it worked almost perfectly. Only issue I had was when I input an ID number above 10 in rows 5-9 on the Log sheet, it would count the weld properly on the stats sheet but if I put 'Yes' in the repair column it wouldn't add it to the Stats sheet. ID numbers below 10 would report both repairs and welds on the stats sheet perfectly. All other rows worked flawlessly! This morning on my work PC the same thing is happening. But being that it is just the rows 5-9 that are giving me trouble, i can manually add them in if there are any repairs. Again, I thank you for your assistance and would like to know if there is any way to donate or contribute to the site.

    it looks like the ranges are auto adjusting, try this:

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(Log!$D$5:$D$10000=Stats!C3),--(Log!$H$5:$H$10000="Yes"))
