Hello!

This is my first post, but I'm a long time lurker :) and up until now I always found a solution on your forum but this time I'm really stuck.
So here is the problem.

I need to count the number of orders of some type (C or I) in an export file where I have multiple lines for every item on order.
I know how to do it with array function but it takes too much time to do it. Export is about 10000 rows at a time.... any workaround for this?

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
The reason your formula is slow, is that you are looking at the entire column, you should never do that with array formulae.
Try limiting the the ranges to 15,000 rows.

Thank you!
I'm aware that my ranges are through the entire column, but it did not occur to me at all that could solve my problem. Instead, I was looking for a workaround.

Thank you, but I can't use power query because I have report sheet where all statistics are calculated...

You can right click on the result and select Refresh to update the result of PQ, do not need do all the procedures again.
If you do not consider PQ, may be you will also not consider Pivot Table. Considering the large data you have, may be helper columns will reduce the time of calculation.
