    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    To check/edit defined ranges, click Formulas ribbon > Name Manager
    Think you need to change all 3 defined names (in turn) to be like this:
    A_Series =Sheet1!$A:$A
    Likewise for B_series, C_series

    Any good? Wave it, click on the little star at the bottom left of my responses

    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    But the issue is, I want name Manager to work for 2 or more sheets simultaneously, liek A_Series = Sheet1!$A:Sheet2!$A.
    I know it will work with single sheet but I need to set multiple here.

    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    Those ranges seem to be working for me.
    Try this on any sheet:
    =COUNTA(B_Series)
    =SUM(A_Series)

    The first formula returns: 36
    The second returns: 72,450

    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    You're absolutely right, it's working with CountA but why 'Countifs' and 'Sumifs' are not working with this Range?

    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    hi there. what you're trying to do is 3D referencing. and it doesn't work like that for COUNTIFS or SUMIFS. you would have to use INDIRECT. so change all your Named Range formulas like this:
    =INDIRECT("'"&{"Sheet1";"Sheet2"}&"'!A:A")

    the other 2 would be changing the red portion to B:B & C:C

    Edit: then surround the formula with a SUM:
    =SUM(COUNTIFS(A_Series,B2, B_Series,B3, C_Series,B4))

    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    Here's how I'd do it.

    Put a countifs formula on each sheet, then sum them..

    in say E2 of sheet1 and sheet2 put
    =COUNTIFS(A2:A19,Sheet3!B2,B2:B19,Sheet3!B3,Sheet1!C2:C19,Sheet3!B4)

    Then on Sheet3 B5 put
    =SUM(Sheet1:Sheet2!E2)

    This is not, what I need. My sheet contains countifs and sumifs more than 100 times, just manual steps make me crazy.

    Re: Name Manager Not Working

    Hi,

    I don't think you want to use CountIfS. I think what you are really looking for is a consolidated pivot table with filters.

    See http://tipsindeed.com/excel/data-con...ot-tables.html

    Study a little on Pivot Table filters and the Pivot Table Wizard.
