Frequency problem desperate for solution!

[Supermike1983]

I have a frequency problem I don't seem to find a solution for. Below you find an extract of just the columns I want to compare.

I want to write a frequency condition saying: "How many values in Column C does only include D values in Column G and FALSE in Column L?".

In this small example below the correct answer is 1 time.

Column C	Column G	Column L
6548923	A	FALSE
6548923	A	FALSE
6548923	B	TRUE
6548923	D	FALSE
14834568	D	FALSE
14834568	D	FALSE
8746985	A	FALSE
8746985	B	TRUE
8746985	D	TRUE

<tbody>
</tbody>

The closest I get is this array formula:

{=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF($C$2:Report!$C$10<>"";IF($L$2:$L$10="FALSE";IF($G$2:$G$10="D";MATCH("~"&$C$2:$C$10;$C$2:$C$10&"";0))));ROW($C$2:$C$10)-ROW($C$2)+1);1))}

Desperately need help!

Hi,

Perhaps i'm simplifying your issue but it looks like you are looking for a count of somekind and (if that's true) why you wnat to do this by using the FREQUENCY function.

try this instead:

Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
	A	B	C
1	6548923	A	FALSE
2	6548923	A	FALSE
3	6548923	B	TRUE
4	6548923	D	FALSE
5	14834568	D	FALSE
6	14834568	D	FALSE
7	8746985	A	FALSE
8	8746985	B	TRUE
9	8746985	D	TRUE
10
11		1

you can use sumproduct formula
=sumproduct(--(r1c7:r9c7="d")*--(r1c12:r9c12=false))

Your formula seems ok to me, but i think the correct answer is 2, not 1. Shouldn't 6548923 and 14834568 be counted?
If so, delete the double quotes around "FALSE" and try again (do not forget to confirm the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter).
Tell us the result.

Provided the values in column L are logical values TRUE or FALSE (not text values "TRUE" or "FALSE") this formula should work

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Report!$C$2:$C$10<>"";IF(Report!$L$2:$L$10=FALSE;IF(Report!$G$2:$G$10="D";MATCH("~"&Report!$C$2:$C$10;Report!$C$2:$C$10&"";0))));ROW(Report!$C$2:$C$10)-ROW(Report!$C$2)+1);1))
Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Well this doesn't really solve my problem. The formula you've stated above should first of all only consider "FALSE" but that's a minor change.

Secondly,your formula doesn't include the frequency of the values in column A. That's what I want and need!

The information in column B and C in my "real document" are fixed meaning I can state them with for example ="D" but I don't control the values in column A.

I don't follow your post, what does this mean with r1c7 - can't write that because Excel instantly complains....

Unfortunately the true or false are not logical values.... What to do then?

No the correct answer is 1 because 14834568 is the only number in column A that only have false and D in all cases.
