Excel Counting Formula

[stovetop24]

What is the formula for counting how many entries per machine?
> For example, there are 2 entries for machine A, 2 for B, 0 for C, 1 for D, 2 for E, and 3 for F.
> Disregard the value, I just need to know how many entries per machine.
> The formula will be inserted in the count by machine area.
> Several cells will be blank (not zero) so I don't want to count them.

Hi
something like =sumproduct((first_range="a")*(second_range <>"")) for machine A ?

Pictures are nice but a sheet is easier to work on

Thanks - the sumproduct formula worked for me. I used =SUMPRODUCT(--(B7:P7="A"),--(B8:P8>0)) for A, =SUMPRODUCT(--(B7:P7="B"),--(B8:P8>0)) for B, etc., etc.

Sorry about the picture and no attachment, I was having issues uploading the excel file for some reason. It was taking forever.

Anyhow, thanks again.

You can also use the COUNTIFS function to do this. It's more efficient compared to the SUMPRODUCT function.

=COUNTIFS(B7:P7,"B",B8:P8,">0")

Thank you Tony. This is perfect.
