Hello,

I'm needing help figuring out a way to tweak a formula that I use on a spreadsheet at work. I use the formula below to track active unique projects and it works fine as long as my only criteria is not counting blanks..

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(1/Borger!T3:T5000),IF(Borger!P3:P5000<>"",MATCH(Borger!P3:P5000,Borger!P3:P5000,0))),ROW(Borger!P3:P5000)-ROW(Borger!P3)+1),1))

But I've recently added the option to include other catagories in these tabs that I don't want included in the total count ("R&M" and "PWRS") as these are not projects.

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(1/Borger!T3:T5000),IF(AND(Borger!P3:P5000<>"",Borger!P3:P5000<>"R&M",Borger!P3:P5000<>"PWRS"),MATCH(Borger!P3:P5000,Borger!P3:P5000,0))),ROW(Borger!P3:P5000)-ROW(Borger!P3)+1),1))

I thought the solution would be to include an AND function in the IF statement and then add two more criteria excluding both keywords but it does not seem to work as intended. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Try:
AND function will not work in this case as it will only return one value of TRUE or FALSE where you need an array.
Code:
[TABLE="width: 1602"]
<colgroup><col width="1602"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
   [TD="width: 1602"]=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(1/Borger!T3:T5000),IF(Borger!P3:P5000<>"",IF(Borger!P3:P5000<>"R&M",IF(Borger!P3:P5000<>"PWRS",MATCH(Borger!P3:P5000,Borger!P3:P5000,0))))),ROW(Borger!P3:P5000)-ROW(Borger!P3)+1),1))[/TD]
 [/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
