Hi,

I'm looking to count all the "Failure of Mobilising Equipment" for each month. I've made the data into a table (Table1), so it'll auto expand when new entries are added.

The reason column is also a Named list (Name Manager).

I've tried:
=COUNTIFS(Table1,">=01/01/2020",Table1,"<=31/01/2020",Table1,"=[@Reason]")

But it comes up as 0, when it should be 2. Even adding & doesn't give the correct answer. At the moment I've just got it counting for dates without the "Failure of Mobilising Equipment".

Any suggestions?

Dave
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Shouldn't it be
Excel Formula:
 =COUNTIFS(Table1[@Date],">=01/01/2020",Table1[@Date],"<=31/01/2020",Table1[@Reason],A2)
A2 is the reference of your reason

OTOH a Pivot Table is much simpler

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm still getting 0 as a return though.

I've not used pivot tables before, without wanting too much, can you point me to somewhere that will aid me with what I want to do?

Maybe
Excel Formula:
 =COUNTIFS(Table1[Date],">=01/01/2020",Table1[Date],"<=31/01/2020",Table1[Reason],Table1[@Reason])

Have a look at How to Create a Pivot Table in Excel

It's quite easy once you have tried it a couple of times
Thanks, I've used Pivot tables to get exactly what I want. It was straight forward and ground breaking for me. Thanks for your help.
