Count X in Survey as 1 across mulitple sheets

[kriskerr]

Hi folks
First time posting so be kind. Im currently trying to compile surveys into one workbook each question is marked with an x in a cell.
Im trying to create a totals page for each individual repsonse unfortunately each sheet is named by the assignee e.g john, thomas. I can get it to tally when it is via sheet numbers by using this formula.
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet"&ROW(INDIRECT("1:7"))&"!C19"),"X"))
however will not let me do via names

List the names in a range of cells, let's say G2:G8, and then try...

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$G$2:$G$8&"'!C19"),"X"))

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately not the cell is a single cell on each sheet for example john!C19+Kris!C19+Thomas!C19 etceach of these cells have an x or are blank I have a sheet named totals and trying to get it to tally the individual cell C19 across the multiple sheets.

Why not put all data on 1 worksheet (e.g. with an macro) and after that analyze your data.

Hi

It seems you did not understand Domenic's post.

You have to write the names of the sheets in a range of cells, for ex. in G2:G4 you write "John", "Kris", "Thomas" and then use Domenic's formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$G$2:$G$4&"'!C19"),"X"))

If the cells contain X or are blank you could also use:

=COUNTA(John:Kris!C19)

If the cells contain X or are blank you could also use:

=COUNTA(John:Kris!C19)

I guess this is a good use for: can't see the wood for the trees.

Andrew Poulsom shortens a 722 character #Excel COUNTIF formula to 22 characters....

Not bad!
