Using CountIf to get values from multiple sheets

Syed Muhafzal

Hi Smarties,

Just out of curiosity, is there a simpler formula when consolidating data from multiple sheets with the same column name?

For example, I have sheets Test 2 and Test 3. Both have status columns and I would like to count how many In Progress in my roll-up sheet.

It works when I do the following formula

=COUNTIF({Test2}, "In Progress") + COUNTIF({Test3}, "In Progress")

But surely there is an easier way to do this, no? Does anyone has any experience in this?

Thanks heaps guys!

Hi @Syed Muhafzal

I hope you're well and safe!

Have you explored using a report instead?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thanks @Andrée Starå - good to hear from you!

Hope you are doing well too!

Yes - that's what I recommended as well. It did help especially with the SUM function in the report. However, this is just for my curiosity as I am sure there is a better way for writing a formula in this scenario instead of using two COUNTIFS.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Syed
