Quick silly question

Post by RFMontraz »

in Excel the COUNTIF function doen't seem to work if the criteria is linked to a cell ex ">A1"



What's the way round it? Thx

I would probably use somthing like ">"&A1 to dynamically construct a string using the cell A1.

Another way: array function.



=count(if(arraytobeanalyzed>cell1,arraytobecounted)) and then shift+control+enter to make it an array, it'll show with {} around the formula in your toolbar. Counted and analyzed ranges are usually the same.



Array works well in combinations, =count(if(thisrangethis other, countingrange))) ...
