Countifs - multiple criteria over workbook - multiple pages

[rebadanson]

Hi all,

Total newbie here - trying to pick this up as fast as I am capable so forgive if this question could be better worded.

1 workbook
12 tabs (April - Mar)
4 Officer codes (initials)
78 Application types.

I am trying to figure out the countifs formula for counting a combination of criteria, but across all pages in the worksheet.

I need the total countifs, for each of 78 application types - per officer... Application type = STATS!, M2 and Officer type = STATS!, O2 , but for the life of me I can't figure out the instruction for the criteria range to be selected as the whole workbook - I can only figure out one page at a time - Apr!, May! etc.

Is anyone able to help me see what I'm missing please?

Many thanks and please be gentle - this is all new to me at present.

i think you need to use sumproduct() and put the sheets into a table

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'"&C1:C2&"'!a1:a40"),stats!M2,INDIRECT("'"&C1:C2&"'!b1:b40"),stats!m2))

but i dont know the range the data is in on each tab

this is just a sample

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'"&C1:C3&"'!a1:a40"),stats!M2,INDIRECT("'"&C1:C3&"'!b1:b40"),stats!O2))

its on drop box for a short while

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply - I am grateful to you

I'll have another look using your example.

you are welcome

with 365 version , you could also use vstack()
which is not volatile , as indirect is

A small number of the worksheet functions can be described as "volatile" functions.
This means that these functions constantly update when any changes are made to the worksheet.

I have added another simpler example for you - showing both vstack and indirect

You can get away with just SUM instead of SUMPRODUCT for the VSTACK option i believe
