Do refer to the above for your understanding.

Given that as time goes by, I will have data add on Column F, G, H, I and etc onwards.
Is there any way for me to count the number of Apple, Orange, Kiwi starting from Column D onwards.


I do not want to set it as Table as I have plenty of worksheets and need to distribute to others to use.
I'm not considering of using the range of D2:Z2 or whichever wide range as to avoid any deletion of columns that may take place.

Is there any formula that will be able to detect the last notblank columns and make it as the range?


Thanks.

=COUNTIFS($D2:INDEX($2:2,MATCH(REPT("z",255),$2:2)),"apple")

will count all apple occurrences from D2 on.

 

[sk2018]

=COUNTIFS($D2:INDEX($2:2,MATCH(REPT("z",255),$2:2)),"apple")

will count all apple occurrences from D2 on.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!
Working fine!!!

You are welcome.

=COUNTIFS($D2:INDEX($2:2,MATCH(REPT("z",255),$2:2)),"apple")

will count all apple occurrences from D2 on.

Further question on this.
The example that I gave is on 3 items: Apple, Orange, Kiwi.

Now I'm increasing the items to 5: Apple, Orange, Kiwi, Grapes, Cherries.
However I faced circular reference problem for Grapes (4th Item) and Cherries (5th Item).

Does that formula you proposed has a limitation to be used only on 3 items?

Thanks

No limitation.

Would you post the data you have? (Do not post any formula though, just the expected results.)

Any problem with my formula?
Coz I;m having problem with circular reference specifically at P2

Column R - I have set a list of picklist value using Data Validation that consists of Apple, Orange, Kiwi, Grapes, Cherries. This serves mainly as a reference. And it should not be counted as part of the Column M to Column Q

 

[Aladin Akyurek]

In M2 enter and copy across to Q2...

=COUNTIFS($S2:INDEX($S2:$XFD2,MATCH(REPT("z",255),$S2:$XFD2)),M$1)

=COUNTIFS($S2:INDEX($S2:$XFD2,MATCH(REPT("z",255),$S2:$XFD2)),M$1)

Awesome!!!
you solve the problem which I had been trying for the whole day!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot!!!

You could use this method;

	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U
1	Apple	Orange	Kiwi	Grapes	Cherries	Sample Picklist	Response 1	Response 2	Response 3
2	1	0	1	0	1		Apple	Cherries	Kiwi
