    Countifs unique values based on two criteria

    All

    My first post....

    I have a data set that contains various records against unique identifier. I need to be able to return a vaule of "Y" instead of the count - indicating that the unqiue identifer has at least one record with a specified value.

    I have tried countifs, countifs & frequency but can't seem to figure it out.

    The countifs formula is =COUNTIFS(CASS_Staff_Submission!$D:$D,Sheet2!$D:$D,CASS_Staff_Submission!$K:$K,Sheet2!CH$1) and currently returns a count of 3 - I need to have a "Y" returned..

    I have attached a very small example

    any thoughts appreciated

    Because you have links in your spreadsheet, I am unable to verify this, but I wrapped your formula in an =If formula
    ie. =if((Yourformula) >0,"Y",0)

    Try changing it to:

    =IF(COUNTIFS(CASS_Staff_Submission!$D:$D,Sheet2!$D:$D,CASS_Staff_Submission!$K:$K,Sheet2!CH$1)>0,"Y",0)

    how about including if statement

    =if(countformula)>0,"Y","")
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "
