    countif formula not counting

    guys i have a spreadsheet that acquires data from 42 other worksheet and in a row of cells it has yes or no at the bottom of that row i have =COUNTIF(A2:A34,"YES"). But it will not count the yes' because the cells that it is trying to count all have formulas in them like =tues!A34 or similar is there a different formula i can use to still count the yes' even in a cell containing a formula? thanks

    No. This is not the problem. It's something else....

    Pls upload a small sample workbook.

    Re: countif formula not counting

    I see no formula in C13. Also as the conect cell is in another workbook(which i don't see), then i get blank cell as result...In any case i insist that there is no reason to have problem with countif....

    Re: countif formula not counting

    There are spaces in column c of your other workbook. So you don't get the word"YES" clearly.

    In C6 and copy to c12, use this.
