Count non-consecutive cells.....
Hi!
I have this spreadsheet looking kind alike this: A1=X B1="" D1=X F1="" H1=X J1="" L1=X N1=X "" = empty P1=? How can I, in P1 count how many of the cells B1, D1, F1, H1, J1, L1 and N1 is identical with A1?` Count or countif do not work on non-consecutive cells I think. This is vital because the cells in-between, i.e. C1, E1, G1, I1, K1, and M1 is already in use for other purposes. There is in total seven cells I want to check how many are identical with A1. As you experts out there already have found out, I am no expert :-)) -- Zadig Galbaras A Perturbed Norwegian Agnostic |

well thank you to both of you :-)
Nice solutions, but in my ignorance I made out an example with a fixed number of cells in-between the important ones. So your formula did work properly, and came up with the wrong answer.... I changed the divisor in the MOG function from 2 to 10 and voila it worked. But the number which came up didn't do it :-( Thst's my fault!! So I did some brain work and came up with a working solution: =IF(O33"";COUNT.IF(S33;O33)+COUNT.IF(AC33;O33)+C OUNT.IF(AM33;O33)+COUNT.IF(AW33;O33)+COUNT.IF(BG33 ;O33)+COUNT.IF(BQ33;O33)+COUNT.IF(CA33;O33);"") Here O33 is teh cell containg the value all others are compared with. So IF S33 is excatly the same as O33 then count it, if not, do not count it! I know it's amateurish, but in my world i works :-) Is there a better way to do this? -- Zadig Galbaras A Perturbed Norwegian Agnostic |

Since the data cells you test are regularly spaced, you can still exploit
the formula I provided: =IF(O33"",SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN($S$33:$CA$33)-CELL("Col",$S$33)+0,10)=0),--($S$33:$CA$33=O33)) "Zadig Galbaras" wrote in message ... well thank you to both of you :-) Nice solutions, but in my ignorance I made out an example with a fixed number of cells in-between the important ones.

Hi Aladin
just a curious question: Why add '0' in your formula? -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Aladin Akyurek" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

If you set that value to 1, it will ignore the first cell of the range of
interest. "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ... Hi Aladin just a curious question: Why add '0' in your formula? -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Aladin Akyurek" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
