Hi,

I have the following table:

In column "A" : dates (dd.mm.yyyy)
In column "E": times (hh:mm)

I'd like to have the followings:
18:00 <= Times < 22:00

How many unique days match that criteria?

Thx in advance
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
To return a count of unique times that are greater than or equal to 18:00 and less than or equal to 22:00, try the following formula that needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(E2:E100>="18:00:00"+0,IF(E2:E100<="22:00:00"+0,E2:E100)),E2:E100)>0,1))

or

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(E2:E100>=G2,IF(E2:E100<=H2,E2:E100)),E2:E100)>0,1))

...where G2 contains the start time, and H2 contains the end time. To include the date, try the following formula instead that also needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A2:A100+E2:E100>="1/15/2017 18:00:00"+0,IF(A2:A100+E2:E100<="1/15/2017 22:00:00"+0,A2:A100+E2:E100)),A2:A100+E2:E100)>0,1))

or

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A2:A100+E2:E100>=G2+H2,IF(A2:A100+E2:E100<=G2+I2,A2:A100+E2:E100)),A2:A100+E2:E100)>0,1))

...where G2 contains the date, H2 contains the start time, and I2 contains the end time. Adjust the ranges accordingly. However, try to avoid using whole column references, since it would likely slow down the calculations considerably.

Hope this helps!

Hi Domenic,

thx for your reply.
I tried your 3rd formula, but it gives me "0" as result. :(

Any other ideas?

Thx

Ok,

I figured it out. It works well with this formula:

=SUM(((FREQUENCY(IF('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$E10:$E1000>=0,75;1;0)*IF('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$E10:$E1000<0,916666666666667;1;0)*(COUNTIF('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$A10:$A1000;">"&'[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$A10:$A1000)+1);ROW('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$A$10:$A$1000)-ROW('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$A$10)))*(ROW('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$A$10:$A$1001)-ROW('[bizerba2_du.xls]BEVITEL '!$A$10))>0)*1)

BUT!

It works only when the external reference file is open!
Is there a way to use it without opening all the external files?

Thx

Can you post about 10 rows of sample data, provide the expected results based on the posted data, and provide the exact formula that you tried?
