Hi
How can I count how many times a certain text is present from reports coming in from different dates?
I have to count how many times the text is there monthly. ( the text is a site name visited )
Thank you for your help
I just capture the name
=COUNTIF(Column1:Column1, "Text Capture")
If you are trying to capture text and capture it based on other criteria .. use the COUNTIFS
Is that what your thinking? If it isn't date dependant then you can just grab it by the text.
If I were trying to count how many times Blue was in a column
Name | Colors | Date
A Blue 01-01-2019
B Red 02-02-2019
C Blue 02-01-2019
=COUNTIF(Colors:Colors, "Blue")
I hope that was right I'm multitasking.
You would need to use the COUNTIFS to be able to include both the specific text and the date criteria.
=COUNTIFS([Site Name Column]:[Site Name Column], "Site Name", [Date Column]:[Date Column], AND(@cell >= DATE(yyyy, mm, dd), @cell <= DATE(yyyy, mm, dd)))
Where the first DATE function is the starting date of your date range, and the second DATE function is the ending date of the range.
You can also pull by looking at the month and year directly.
=COUNTIFS([Site Name Column]:[Site Name Column], "Site Name", [Date Column]:[Date Column], AND(MONTH(@cell) = ##, YEAR(@cell) = ####))
Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
