Hi,

I am trying to work out some statistics using formulas. The statistics are going to be on a different tab but in the same workbook. I am trying to work out how many of each ethnic Group have a BMI between a certain amount. Countifs is the formula that i have chosen to use is this the correct formula to use to answer this?
I have done the first two and this works fine, but when i try and copy this by dragging the box down to copy the formula it comes back with #VALUE. I've tried looking a online tutorials but nothing is helping.

Kind Regards
Kerry

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
It seems that you only locked down your first range, but no your other ones, i.e.:
LOCKED CORRECTLY: 'GDM Database'!$F$3:$F$10
NOT LOCKED: 'GDM Stats'!A2,'GDM Database'!T3:T10

If you do not lock the range, as you copy the formula down, the row numbers are going to shift too.
So add the "$" in front of the row reference in the other ranges too, i.e.
'GDM Stats'!A2,'GDM Database'!T$3:T$10

You are welcome.

I hope it makes sense why you need to do that. If not, feel free to ask any questions.
Here is a nice little write-up that discusses it: Excel Mixed reference | Exceljet
