Need help with CountIF function

[Flo]

Hello,

Please help. I have a columne A with department codes A, B, C, ... the
department codes are multiple lines, column B with numbers when there are
activity in that department. Can I do a countif function or other function
to summerize how many activity each department?

 

[Luke M]

To count how many times there is activity for dept A:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="A"),--(ISNUMBER(B2:B100))

To sum the numbers in column B associated with dept A:
=SUMIF(A:A,"A",B:B)

Hi,

Create a pivot table. Drag department code to the row area and numbers
column to the data area
