How can I count items in a filtered list?

biff: NEED SOME OF YOUR EXPERT HELP...

Need to add the number of unique numbers in a column.. for instance i might
have unit number PU114 listed 10 times in a spreadsheet but its only 1
unit..how can i create a formula to do this for me? also, anyway to do this
in a pivot table rather than a traditional count of lines?

do anybody know, how to use "countif" with filtered lists?

the function subtotal does not allow conditions (e.g. "name")
the function countif does it, but it count hidden cells, too

thank you for your ideas

This function almost works for except I want to use a wildcard for "A", I
want to use "CL*" cells that begin with "CL". How can I use the * wildcard in
this function.

You can't use wildcards in this function.

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B100,ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2),0,1)),--(LEFT(B2:B100,2="CL"))

T. Valko, Thanks, It did not work at first;

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B100,ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2),0,1)),--(LEFT(B2:B100,2="CL"))

Needed to add 1 ")" to make it work, see below, Thanks again

Hi I need your help..
I know that is not the right forum but I'll try anyway.
Hope you will understand what I’m trying to do.
I’ve got 2 worksheets called Total.xls Monthly.xls in a workbook called PM.
I’ve linked few cells from Monthly to Total (that’s was easy). Now all the
formula already in Total give Error as results.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone can help me..
I am trying to count how many export has been done for each Region
for
July,
how many for August and so on.
I'll try to make myself a bit clear. For example:
My first column (A1:A100) contains 10 different Regions
(Netherlands,
Italy,
Spain etc). The second column (B1:B100) contains months ( July,
August,
September, October etc). I would like to know if there is formula to
count
how many times Netherlands July appears in those 2 columns.
In both columns data must be chosen from a drop down menu..
Hope I made myself clear.. Can this be done ?

Your syntax is not correct.

You cannot have Total.xls and Monthly.xls in one workbook.

An *.xls is a single workbook.

Do you mean you have two worksheets named Total and Monthly in a workbook
named PM.xls

Is this latest problem you are posting in any way related to the original
posting about counting filtered items you and Biff have been working on?

Yep I've got 2 worksheets linked to each other. How can I make a formula
works if the cells I need to calculate are linked to the first worksheet.

Again I ask............are your calculations concerning what you and Biff
were discussing?

I have not follwed the thread so not sure what you're asking for.

But you can calculate using linked cells.

Say sheet1 has these linked cells in A1:A3

=Sheet2!G1
=Sheet2!H2
=Sheet2!D1

Enter =SUM(A1:A3) in any cell on sheet1

If not clear to you, post some examples of linked cells and what type of
calculating you need done.
