How can I count items in a filtered list?

Hi,

I wonder if someone can help me,

I am trying to count the number of individuals in two seperate columns on
the same spreadsheet based on values that are text and numbers, i.e. "in
column B1:B391 which are 'Con'" and "in column K1:K391 which have a value of
'1'".

i have tried the formula suggested below:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100="Netherlands"),--(B1:B10="July"))

adapting this to:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B391="Con"),--(K1:K391="1"))

however this does not work.

Any help would be amazing

Many Thanks

Dominic

Better to use cells to hold the criteria.

D1 = Netherlands
E1 = July

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=D1),--(B1:B100=E1))

Is that a data validation drop down list (or maybe a combo box) or is it
an
Auto Filter drop down?

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 ?
Thanks

Try removing the quotes from the second criteria...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B391="Con"),--(K1:K391=1))

The use of the "sumproduct" formula confuses me and how it's applied.

I have a report at work that lists a number of categories for multiple
people. With the use of the "countif" formula I'm able to identify the
quantity associated with each category for the entire group. However, I want
to filter down to a particular individual and have the quantities now only
apply to that individual. Is there a way to combine the "countif" and
"subtotal" formulas to make this happen?

Found this through Excel help - exactly what I wanted, and in less than 5
mins too :-)

Thanks very much

It works for me, too! Thanks very much for your help!

Also one quick note for other people trying to count TRUE or FALSE values, I
had to remove the double quotes - apparently Excel see's them as special
values, even though it doesn't seem to convert them to numbers (the way a
database does).
This worked for counting the number of TRUE's in a filtered list:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B100,ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2),0,1)),--(B2:B100=TRUE))

I had to remove the double quotes -
apparently Excel see's them as special values

TRUE and FALSE are special values in Excel. They're called Boolean values.
In Excel a Boolean TRUE and FALSE is different from a *text* entry of true
or false. If no special formatting has been applies a Boolean will appear in
the cell as all uppercase characters and centered in the cell.

Hi.
I was wondering if you could explain the occurence of TWO adjacent minus
signs part way through this formula.
Thanks,

--(B2:B100="A")

This expression will return an array of either TRUE or FALSE:

(B2:B100="A")

B2: X
B3: A
B4: A
B5: C

B2="A" = FALSE
B3="A" = TRUE
B4="A" = TRUE
B5="A" = FALSE

SUMPRODUCT calculates numbers so we have to convert those logical TRUE and
FALSE to numbers. The TWO adjacent minus signs, known as double unary, is
one way to do that.

--TRUE = 1
--FALSE = 0

--(B2="A") = 0
--(B3="A") = 1
--(B4="A") = 1
--(B5="A") = 0

So we end up with an array of 1s and 0s:

{0;1;1;0}

The result of the SUBTOTAL function is also an array of 1s and 0s. For
example: {0;1;1;1}.

These 2 arrays are then multiplied together to arrive at the final result of
the formula:

Subtotal......B2:B5="A"
{0;1;1;1}*{0;1;1;0}

0*0 = 0
1*1 = 1
1*1 = 1
1*0 = 0

SUMPRODUCT({0;1;1;0}) = 2
