    Post Countifs to be working the same as sumifs function

    good day all,

    this thread will be the same as my introduction thread. First of all my name is Saif from Iraq, I work as a planning engineer.

    Well, to get along with it, I saw a lot of excel users looking for a way to count values while to make the function works the same as sumifs.

    bellow I worked on my data depending on date since I need it, I'm working in a factory so I need production quantities on a daily, monthly and yearly basis, the same for getting monthly production batches that has been produced.



    column G has a month value as it's header
    columns L6:BDO6 has dates values as a header
    Production quantities goes from L7:BDO7

    so I need to enter any month value to count produced batches for that whole month

    when I enter "JAN-2021" into G6, count value for January should show up in G7.

    My formula is >>

    =COUNTIFS(L7:BDO7,"<>"&"",$L$6:$BDO$6,">="&$G$6,$L$6:$BDO$6,"<="&EOMONTH($G$6,0))

    as we all see my 1st criteria is I told excel to count values not equal to zero, and my 2nd criteria is that I told excel to start counting only when month value is not less than January and not greater than End of January.

    I hope it'd be useful for you all.

    Cheers,

    Re: Countifs to be working the same as sumifs function

    Just looking at post #1 it appears the the value in G6, JAN-2021, is text.
    So my first suggestion is to make sure that the value in G6 is a date i.e. 1/1/2021
    My second suggestion, in case the first doesn't help, is to utilize the instructions in the banner at the top of the page to upload a sample of the Excel file described in post #1.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    My point is, you posted in the wrong place. NOBODY will look for hints and tips in the introduction section, so sharing the tip would be fruitless. I can move it back to where nobody will ever see it if you want.
