SumProduct I believe

Hello,

I require help on a formula. I want the formula to do the following:

When excel finds this condition: CONCATENATE('Summary Trade Spend'!A7,"TY") in the range D:X I need it to count the number of cells that have a value in them in column X:X.

Let me explain this another way if that wasn't clear enough:

When a product name has a TY next to it I want my formula to count how many cells have values in them for those columns in a different set of columns.

All of the data for the above is in one spreadsheet, and the forumla result is in another. I have been told that SUMPRODUCT might be the answer, but only might. I dont quite understand the the sumproduct formula.

Any help would be graetly appreciated.

Thank you.

Este

RE: SumProduct I believe

Hi Este, thanks for your query. Can you clarify why you need to count the values in column X every time you find CONCATENATE('Summary Trade Spend'!A7,"TY") somewhere else? Can't you just count the number of instances of any text suffixed with "TY"? (e.g. =COUNTIF(D:X, "*TY"))

Excel tip:

Filtering Data in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

When you have an Excel Worksheet with masses of data, it's not going to be easy to sift through it. So, in order to view sections of data, you can use the filter tool. Select the cells you want to filter (no need to select the column headers), then click the Home tab on the Ribbon, click Sort and Filter (you will find this in the Editing Section) then click Filter.

You will now see arrows in the top row of all the columns. If you click on an arrow, it will give you some filtering options so you can sort your data into ''Smallest to Largest'' or ''Oldest to Newest'' and so on..

To turn off the filtering, go back to the Home tab and click the Filter button again.
