i need to create a formula that does the same as SUMIF except i want it to count instead of sum. i have 12 months of data, so for each column i need the formula to count the entries on the lines with "salary" in column A. countif will only count (in the above, it would be 2 in feb, 2 in mar, 1 in apr, 2 in may).
any ideas - i've tried tons but it seems such a simple task that i must be missing something obvious.
thanks
