    The COUNTIF function does not support multiple ranges. However, you could try summing multiple COUNTIFs.

    For example:

    =SUM(COUNTIF(D:D,"*Wifi*"),COUNTIF(K:K,"*Wifi*"))

    Re: COUNTIF to many arguments

    Hello,
    I am working with a sheet that sums up a percentage. I want to create a report that has if >30% then checked (and summed) if <30% (blank)
    I am a novice at best and not sure how to create the data from the sheet that is populated on a daily basis. I've attached the sheet and the last tab was were I was going to put in the reports by person and by department. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
