count values where two columns match

BlairMyles

i am trying to count the number of matching pairs of values in two columns.

eg:

Column A Column B

1910 760

1910 810

1990 760

the outcome of the above that i am looking for is as follows

1910 x 760 = 1

1910 x 810 = 2

1990 x 760 = 2

can someone please help me with a formula that will give me these count summaries?

Regards

Hello,

Try a COUNTIFS statement; example:

=COUNTIFS([Column A]:[Column A], 1910, [Column B]:[Column B], 760)

You'll want to create a separate COUNTIFS formula for each pair combination that you want to count.

follow up question...

what if the number of variables are significant? in this case we are dealing with measurements and although the width measurements are more of a finite range, the height measurements will vary enourmously. would i then have to have a count if statement for each millimetre difference???

Hi Blair,

Sorry—for some reason I didn't get notified about your reply!

You may be able to use comparative operators to count ranges of values. An example of this in a COUNTIF function is as follows:

=COUNTIF(Height:Height, > 25)

You can expand this to COUNTIFS but creating range of values to count between:

=COUNTIFS(Height:Height, > 25, Height:Height, < 250)

This formula will count any value greater than 25 but less than 250. More on COUNTIFS and acceptable operators here: https://help.smartsheet.com/function/countifs

A multiple SUMIF function
My current formula is below. I would like to update this so that I only get a total of those that have been Quoted and have a timeframe data of 2025. How do I add this extra filter into the formula? =SUMIF(Status:Status, "Quoted", [Est. GP]:[Est. GP])
Missing column in Report if I use a formula
I'm not able to "view by" a field that I have in my sheets - Quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) - in my report. I think it is because I have used a formula to calculate the quarters in my sheets. Does anyone know a way to get a formula based field on the dropdown for view by in my report?
