COUNTIFS Using Multiple Index / Match Lookups..

[BenGee]

Hi,

I've currently got;

=COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!B5:K32,MATCH(Shifts!A$5,'Training Levels'!A5:A32,0),MATCH(Shifts!A4,'Training Levels'!B4:K4,0)),1,Shifts!B5,"ASH")

But I'm looking to do this for everyone row that meets this criteria between B5:B35. Something I thought but doesn't work is;
=COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!B5:K32,MATCH(Shifts!A5:A35,'Training Levels'!A5:A32,0),MATCH(Shifts!A4,'Training Levels'!B4:K4,0)),1,Shifts!B5:35,"ASH")

Shifts!A5:A35 has a list of names
Shifts!A4 has a product name
Shifts!B5:B35 contain either E, L, MS, ASH, HDAM, HDPM (which represents the shift this person is on)
'Training Levels'!B5:K32 contain either 0 or 1 (0 = not training, 1 = trained)
'Training Levels'!A5:A32 is the same list of names
'Training Levels'!B4:K4 is the list of products

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance

It would help if you could post an extract with the input data and the expected results. It sounds like you want a formula to put in Shifts!C5 and drag it down, allowing you to see who on a given shift is trained on a given product. If so, consider this:

	A	B	C
1
2
3
4	Pants	ASH
5	Al	E	0
6	Betty	E	0
7	Cal	L	0
8	Daphne	MS	0
9	Ed	ASH	1
10	Farrah	HDAM	0
11	Greg	HDPM	0
12	Hillary	ASH	0
13

<tbody>
</tbody>

Shifts​

Worksheet Formulas Cell Formula C5 =INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(A5,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH($A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0))*($B$4=B5) <tbody> </tbody>

<tbody>
</tbody>

This checks the name (A5) against the list on Training Sheets, and the product ($A$4) against the list on Training Sheets, and returns the 1 or 0 at the intersection. It then checks the person's shift (B5) against the desired shift ($B$4). If I understand your question properly, your original formula might work, if you put the $ sign (the absolute reference indicator) in the right places.

Hope this helps.

Hi Eric. Thank you for your help so far

This is exactly what I'm looking for;
(SUM(COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$5,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B5,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$6,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B6,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$7,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B7,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$9,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B9,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$10,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B10,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$11,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B11,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$12,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B12,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$13,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B13,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$14,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B14,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$15,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B15,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$16,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B16,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$17,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B17,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$19,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B19,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$20,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B20,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$21,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B21,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$22,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B22,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$23,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B23,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$24,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B24,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$26,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B26,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$27,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B27,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$28,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B28,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$29,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B29,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$30,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B30,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$31,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B31,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$32,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B32,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$33,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B33,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$34,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B34,{"ASH","HDAM"}),COUNTIFS(INDEX('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32,MATCH(Shifts!$A$35,'Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32,0),MATCH(Shifts!$A$4,'Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4,0)),1,B35,{"ASH","HDAM"})))

But I'm wondering if there is a more simple way of writing this as I'm going to have re-write / adapt >20 times.

Hope this helps

Short answer is yes, that can be rewritten shorter. It has a lot of repetition in it. However, I'm not going to parse the whole thing. I looked at the top few lines and came up with:

=SUMPRODUCT('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32*('Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4=Shifts!A4)*(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32&"|[COLOR=#ff0000]ASH[/COLOR]",Shifts!$A$5:$A$35&"|"&Shifts!$B$5:$B$35,0))))+
SUMPRODUCT('Training Levels'!$B$5:$K$32*('Training Levels'!$B$4:$K$4=Shifts!A4)*(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Training Levels'!$A$5:$A$32&"|[COLOR=#ff0000]HDAM[/COLOR]",Shifts!$A$5:$A$35&"|"&Shifts!$B$5:$B$35,0))))

The 2 SUMPRODUCTS are the same except for the shift in red. I could probably combine them at the risk of making it more unintelligible.

If this doesn't work for you, it would be VERY helpful if you could show a sample of your two sheets, and the expected results. It would be MUCH easier to figure out a solution for you from actual data (not just a description), and a description in words of what you want, and the actual results for a given set of data.

Hi Eric - That is perfect, thanks for the help. Helped a lot
