    Counting Up

    Morning,

    I'm trying to count up the number of times the value 3 is in the following columns, I've tried:

    =COUNTIF(Q2,T2,W2,Z2,AC2,AF2,AI2,AL2,AO2,AR2,AU2,AX2,"3")

    But it doesn't seem to work (error message) and I can't work out what I'm doing wrong, any ideas please?

    Many thanks

    Hi Morgan.
    Pls try this
    =COUNTIF(Q2,T2,W2,Z2,AC2,AF2,AI2,AL2,AO2,AR2,AU2,AX2,3)

    When you use numbers, no need of "".

    Hope to helps you
    Regards

    Fotis.

    Re: Counting Up

    Perhaps =SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(Q2:AX2)-COLUMN(Q2),3)=0),--(Q2:AX2=3))

    Re: Counting Up

    Or use FREQUENCY like,

    =INDEX(FREQUENCY((Q2,T2,W2,Z2,AC2,AF2,AI2,AL2,AO2,AR2,AU2,AX2),{2,3}),2)

    Re: Counting Up

    Hi,

    I am not sure if my question is related to this post. But Im gonna try, hoping someone can help me.

    I have INFLUENCERS to Categorize and Tag as my File # 1 and TAGGER Team Stats as file # 2. These 2 different files. I would like to use COUNTIF wherein it will count # of certain word in a cell in file # 2, e.g., Patrick then return the numbers in file # 2.

    This is my initial formula but I kept on getting an error.

    =COUNTIF('[INFLUENCERS to Categorize and Tag]Set 1'!$G:$G,"*a*")

    Please help. Thanks.
