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

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"))
