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")

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'm working on a column formula that will check whether the Column2ref cell in the current row is blank. If it is blank, the formula finds the maximum value in the ID column where the Trainer Name matches the Trainer Name cell value in the current row and the ID cell value is less than the ID cell value in the…

Hi, I have a Gantt covering 500+ rows of events past and planned. I use it to predict and track values around these events. Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
