find all negative numbers in a range and total them


Posted by w king on February 11, 2002 7:55 AM


I have a range of cells and if there is a negative number in a cell I want it to be added to a total number of negative # cells. I want to add up the total number of cells, not the total of the values in these cells and place that value in another cell.
Thanks,
W.

=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<0") [NT]

Works great! Now can you show me how to make this work with the following range A34:A55,O34:O55
Thanks,

Counting over non-consecutive ranges

=COUNTIF(A34:A55,"&LT;0")+COUNTIF(O34:O55,"&LT;0")
