Formula Help --- IF statement

[Joneye]

My formula reads from another table, it counts how many dates are the same as the date in cell A2, instead of having 1 how would I report words here as my formula has a counting aspect to it.


<b>Excel 2003</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>A</th><th>B</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">2</td><td style="text-align: right;;">14/03/2011</td><td style="text-align: center;;">1</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="width:3.6em;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:0.2em 0.6em 0.2em 0.5em;border: 1px solid #A6AAB6;border-top:none;text-align: center;background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">Sheet2</p><br /><br /><table width="85%" cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";border: 2px solid black;border-collapse:collapse;padding: 0.4em;background-color: #FFFFFF" ><tr><td style="padding:6px" ><b>Worksheet Formulas</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" width="100%" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid;text-align:center;background-color: #FFFFFF;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120"><th width="10px">Cell</th><th style="text-align:left;padding-left:5px;">Formula</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th width="10px" style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">B2</th><td style="text-align:left">=IF(<font color="Blue">A2='Method 1'!E12,COUNTIF(<font color="Red">'Method 1'!E12:E15,Sheet2!A2</font>),"none"</font>)</td></tr><tr><th width="10px" style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">B3</th><td style="text-align:left">=IF(<font color="Blue">A3='Method 1'!E13,COUNTIF(<font color="Red">'Method 1'!E13:E16,Sheet2!A3</font>),"none"</font>)</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><br />

Do you wwant to count the appearance of A2 of Sheet2 in range E12:E15 of Method1

 

[Joneye]

Hi there, yes indeed.

 

[BeingYogi]

May Be:
Array Formula

{=COUNT(IF(Sheet2!A2=Method1!E12,IF(Method1!E12:E15=Sheet2!A2,Method1!E2:E5)))}


Enter by Ctrl+Shift+Enter

 

[grizle]

I think you mean you want the word "one" instead of the figure 1. If so, wrap a CHOOSE function round the COUNTIF function thus:

=IF(A2='Method 1'!E12,CHOOSE(COUNTIF('Method 1'!E12:E15,Sheet2!A2),"one","two","three","four"),"none")

You're limited to 29 arguments not just four. Hope thats enough.

Grizlie,
