How to count crosses and starts

Hello,


I have a production chart where with times of 6am,9am,2pm,5pm,9pm,2am,4am. At any given time, under those boxes at any given time we can have a box labeled Start or Cross. I have created another sheet to track starts and crosses but how do I get it to automatically pull from my chart to the tracker? To clarify, if I had 4 starts for the day, and 7 crosses, how do I get that to translate to my tracker under starts and crosses each day of the week?

    Hi @Diego Casillas Zaragoza ,

    In your Tracker Sheet use a COUNTIF formula and the range component is referenced from your other sheet.

    When you start typing your formula... =COUNTIF( select the 'Reference another sheet' link to reference your Chamber Status sheet, and then select the columns 6am - 4am as your reference.

    Should look something like =COUNTIF({Chamber Status}, "Start") to count Starts, or =COUNTIF({Chamber Status}, "Cross") to count Crosses.

    Looks like your tracker has a spot for each day of the week, and I'm unsure how you are doing that in your Chamber Sheet, but you will need different data for each day.
