Counting attendance

[rafuk73]

Hi, all!

Could you please help with one formula please

I have a table which looks like this:


.....A.........!......B.........!........C....... !.........D...........!.......E........!
1..............!.1 June 2009! 14 Aug 2009!...6 June 2010...!..2 July 2010!
2...Pete.....!...Attended..!.................!....Attended......!.................!
3...John.....!.................!..Attended...!....Attended......!.................!
4...Lisa......!...Attended..!..Attended...!......................!...Attended..!

I need to add two columns after the names with a formula which would count how many times eact person attended the event in 2009 and 2010.
I need to keep the range in all formulas the same as the table can expand with new dates, so for example (Pete's attendace) =COUNTIF (B2:C2, "Attended") for 2009 and =COUNTIF (D2:E2, "Attended") for 2010 are not good enough. I need to have the same range for all formulas.

Kind regards
