Keeping Count

[andyb16]

Hi All,

My objective is to build a formula that will throw as its result the count of Reason Codes against each resource A,B,C,D,E. Pls note that this is sample data and the actual datasheet I have has almost 30 resources. But reason codes are restricted to 4. I tried countif...but with 50 resources it gets crazy...i was thinking countif + vlookup. Pls can someone give me some directions as to how to procees? Thx.
