COUNTIF or not to COUNTIF on a range in another sheet

[Ellie]

I have a report over 2 separate sheets in a workbook.

On the first sheet I have my core data, covering approx. 8 columns,
inclusive of date, load number (in columns B and C) and cases (in column H).
On the second sheet I am currently manually inputting the result of data
entered into the first sheet.

The data in columns B, C and H are what I manually input into the second
sheet.

In this 2nd sheet I have column A with the date in the same format as on the
first worksheet along with column D being the total number of loads for that
date and column E being the total number of cases also for that date.
Unfortunately on the first worksheet I sometimes have dates where no data is
available and put this in as "No Issues", but having used COUNTIF against the
date find that No Issues is being counted, as I obviously have entered the
date into the first sheet.

e.g. of 2nd sheet in workbook:-
W/C 12/09 Total Loads Total Cases Failure Loads Failure Cases
12-Sep
13-Sep
14-Sep
15-Sep
16-Sep
TOTAL 0 0 0 0

As a sample, I had used =COUNTIF(Sheet1!B2:I6,"=12-Sep") against the Failure
Loads for 12-Sep, which returns the correct number, but unfortunately when
going for 13-Sep returned 1, even though it was No Issues, so should be as a
0.

Is there any suggestion to amend the above COUNTIF calculation, to give me
what I require, or something else to do this for me.

Many thanks.

Hi Ellie

Your formula looks ok except you don't need = infront 0f 12-Sep

To help further put a sample of the data from the first sheet


As an alternative, you could just put subtotals on your > Data >
Subtotals at each change of date

Sorry, also forgot to mention that for the 5th day on the 2nd sheet (16-Sep),
this incorporates the Friday, Saturday and Sunday dates (16-18 Sep) from the
1st sheet.

Hi Ellie

To get over the problem of No Issues on the 13th instead of COUNTIF use
this formula instead >

=SUM((Sheet1!$B$2:$B$9=Sheet2!A2)*(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$9<>""))

This needs to be enterred as an array, so type in or copy/paste the
formula and instead of pressing Enter press CTRL/SHIFT/ENTER all
together
This will make the formula look like this >

{=SUM((Sheet1!$B$2:$B$9=Sheet2!A2)*(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$9<>""))}

This is looking at the date column B and the load column C, I assume
you put No issues in the comments so column C for the 13th will be
blank, and counts instances of a date so long as the load column is
blank

Haven't had time to work out the weekend issue, but I'm sure someone on
here will help

Have attached a zip copy of the file I worked on. Sorry am going on
holiday tomorrow, not back till 2nd October, if you haven't sorted it
by then e-mail me
