    COUNTA formula

    Hi,

    I am trying to count the number of non-blank cells in column DF (of the Master worksheet) for values in column DA (of the Master worksheet) that match the criteria in cell B4 (of the 2013 List sizes worksheet). I have the formula as per below but its not giving me the correct result. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    =COUNTA(IF(MASTER!DA:DA='2013 List sizes'!B7,MASTER!DF:DF))

    The answer should be 4 but it returns 65536.

    Any assistance would be appreciated!

    Thanks.

    =COUNTIF(MASTER!DA:DA,'2013 List sizes'!B7,MASTER!DF:DF))

    Hi, unfortunately that didnt work. The cells in MASTER!DF:DF are not equal to '2013 List sizes'!B7. I just want to see how many aren't blank. Thanks.

    Re: COUNTA formula

    From your first post

    =COUNTA(IF(MASTER!DA:DA='2013 List sizes'!B7,MASTER!DF:DF))
    From your last post.

    .
    .The cells in MASTER!DF:DF are not equal to '2013 List sizes'!B7.

    So this make no sense for me. Sorry.

    1) Your working in Excel 2003?

    And

    2) MASTER!DA:DA='2013 List sizes'!B7 = empty

    then you get the result 65536 (all cells in the column).
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.
