Adding a criteria to a countif formule

[Marvo]

Hi All, Can I add a criteria to a COUNTIF formula, I guess making it a COUNTIFS?

I have

=COUNTIF(ALL!$C:$C,K61)

however I only want it to count down COLUMN C as far as data is entered in the adjacent COLUMN F.

I tried =COUNTIFS(ALL!$C:$C,K61,ALL!$F:$F,"<>") but needless to say that didn't work.

Any help much appreciated.

Did you mean column F or the column headed F (goals for)?

that should work
BUT not sure what you are counting and the criteria in the image

for example simple mockup
K61 has a in

What I am doing is counting how many games are being played on days of the week. Column C.

The problem is the fixtures are entered until the end of the season so the formula is counting those games that haven't yet been played.

I thought I could solve this by adding the criteria that only count down Column C as far as when a score is entered into Column F.

(There maybe a better solution but that is what I came up with)

so the venue F will be Blank -
should work - check that the cells in F are actually blank and do not have a space in
??? column K is blank or column O attendance is blank

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

when a score is entered into Column F.

Column F is the venue, not the score...

You're right, I do apologise, the solution I came up with does indeed work if I'd entered the correct column in. Sorry for being a complete idiot and wasting everybody's time.
