Hello - I am pretty sure the answer I'm looking for is here somewhere, but I'm not seeing it. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm working on a softball pitching chart & trying to return results of balls (G5) & strikes (H5) where only one cell will have data. Specific text is "*H" for items in my dropdown list where the pitcher "hits" her spot (F5). So something like this:
Formula in Cell F5: IF G5 or H5 ="*H", return "Y" to cell F5, otherwise "" (leave blank or return "N").

I'm sure it's something simple - I keep getting "too many arguments," "FALSE," "VALUE," or "N" I'm attaching a screenshot that might be helpful.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Maybe:

Book1
FGHI
4Hit spot?BallStrikeResult
5YC2x (H)
6YC2x (H)
7 C2
Sheet8
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
F5:F7F5=IF(COUNTIF(G5:H5,"*H)"),"Y","")


I had to use *H) in the formula, otherwise it wouldn't match the values you showed.

Happy to help! Thanks for the feedback. ?
Eric,
Hope you can help with another one, please... referring to colomn "H" above, I'm trying to get a count for first pitch strikes in Column E that has the # of pitches by pitcher to each batter (1, 2, 3, etc.) So, I want countif or sum if "1" is in E:E & data is in column H. I've tried a number of scenarios based on things I've seen in the posts, but I just can't get it right.
Thanks in advance,
Debbie

I'm a little unsure, since I don't know what your sheet really looks like, but maybe something like this:

Book1
EFGHI
11
2
3
4Hit spot?BallStrikeResult
51YC2x (H)
62YC2x (H)
73 C2
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
F1F1=COUNTIFS(E5:E8,1,H5:H8,"?*")
F5:F7F5=IF(COUNTIF(G5:H5,"*H)"),"Y","")

You're a ROCK STAR! Thank you so much!
What do you recommend I do if I have more hurdles & can't find answers? Should I "follow" you or post new requests?

You should probably open a new thread. There are a lot of talented people here who can help you. I was just the lucky one who got to your question first! ? So if I happen to be away for a few days, you would get a quicker answer. If you post a question and don't get an acceptable answer, you can tag me in a post (with an @ sign and my user name, like this @debbw ) and I'll take a look if I'm available.

I'm glad to have helped! ?
