Hi all,

This should be something easy to sort.

But I have gone formula crazy after staring at the screen for so long i cannot figure out why my formula is not outputting correctly,

I have done everything in terms of recreating a new formula, google search and now i need your expertise if possible.

As you can see from the link to the spreadsheet the Countif should be creating a sequence number for all grouped values but for some reason its restarting after it hits 27 in the number sequence.

Any ideas to why this would be?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Which row is it failing on?
Also your formula can simply be written as
Excel Formula:
=COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)

Hi Fluff,

That was my original starting formula.

As I need to add some variables to the grouping value thats why i have written it in the way i have. If you look at cell A98 shows 27 and then on A98 restarts from 1 when it should be 28 in count-if value sequence because i declared that these values should be together: GROCERYCERTASSCOTLANDCERTAS LICENSEDCERTASSCOTLANDCERTAS FRESHFROZENCERTASSCOTLANDCERTAS

Not sure if I understand, but is this what you are trying to do
Excel Formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS(scotland,A2),SUM(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,scotland)),IF(COUNTIFS(wales,A2),SUM(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,wales)),IF(COUNTIFS(england,A2),SUM(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,england)),COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2))))

Hi Fluff,

So I declared that any instances of these groups should be Countif together:

Countif to include all instances of these values:
GROCERYCERTASSCOTLANDCERTAS
LICENSEDCERTASSCOTLANDCERTAS
FRESHFROZENCERTASSCOTLANDCERTAS

Countif to include all instances of these values:
GROCERYCERTASENGLANDCERTAS
LICENSEDCERTASENGLANDCERTAS
FRESHFROZENCERTASENGLANDCERTAS

Countif to include all instances of these values:
GROCERYCERTASWALESCERTAS
LICENSEDCERTASWALESCERTAS
FRESHFROZENCERTASWALESCERTAS

Any-other value in column A can be treated with the normal CountIF formula
