how to calculate and avoid

Hello to all.

I have some difficulties, since I am begginer or just a user in EXCELL but I love to learn.

I have data in column: "06-18" , "18-06" , "FREE", "VACATION". That is all the way trough month from 1-st to 31-st day, and at bottom i need to calculate but wich formula to use?
it should calculate: 06-18 and 18-06 as 12 and to ignore FREE AND VACATION cells.



thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum

Pictures are of little value. Honestly, no one wants to re-type your data to try and solve your issue. Additionally, we would only be guessing at how your data was structured, ie. formulas, formatting, etc. Additionally, due to how some browsers behave, many of our members cannot see uploaded pictures/images. Please do not take this route.

Please attach a sample file that represents what you have. The structure of your attachment should be the same structure as your actual data. Any proprietary information should be changed.

Include in the attachment any code you're currently using (whether it works or not) and an "After" of what you wish the output to be.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

put this in B34 =COUNTIFS($B$3:$B$32,"<>FREE",$B$3:$B$32,"<>VACATION")*12 and copy over to the appropriate cells

slight amendment to the formula. See attached. Works
