R.P.McMurphy - 17 Dec 2005 12:42 GMT HI all, I have six cells; c9,c17,c25,j9,j17,j25
if the number entered in any of these cells is over 39 then I want to total the number over that amount. is that clear? for example-
cell c9 has 30 cell c17 has 39 cell c25 has 40 cell j9 has 23 cell j17 has 42 cell j25 has 2
the answer would be 3
Any help gratefully received! (again)

Barb Reinhardt - 17 Dec 2005 13:12 GMT First, how are you determining the # is three. I see one cell with a value greater than 39.

cheers!

=COUNTIF(C9:I25,">=39")
But am unable to put a range in cell by cell. Maybe someone else can assist here.

My (yukky) formula is:
=(SUM(C9,C17,C25,J9,J17,J25) - 6*39 + ABS(C9-39) + ABS(C17-39) + ABS(C25-39)+ ABS(J9-39) + ABS(J17-39) + ABS(J25-39))/2
which gives the result 4 with the values supplied.

many thanks all!

=SUMPRODUCT(--(N(OFFSET(C9:C25,{0,8,16},0,1,1))>=39))+SUMPRODUCT(--(N(OFFSET (J9:J25,{0,8,16},0,1,1))>=39))

> Hi Steve, > 39=0 OK [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Ken Johnson R.P.McMurphy - 17 Dec 2005 15:49 GMT I have changed it to
=SUMPRODUCT(--(N(OFFSET(table1 C9:table1 C25,{0,8,16},0,1,1))>=39))+SUMPRODUCT(--(N(OFFSET(table1 J9:table1 J25,{0,8,16},0,1,1))>=39))
but its still not working,
help!

=SUMPRODUCT(--(N(OFFSET('table1'!C9:C25,{0,8,16},0,1,1))>=39))+SUMPRODUCT(-- (N(OFFSET('table1'!J9:J25,{0,8,16},0,1,1))>=39))

> Try > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> >> >> >> Ken Johnson R.P.McMurphy - 17 Dec 2005 18:06 GMT working with this one Bob, I just open a new spread sheet up and entered the figures and your original formula. it does indeed work for the figures quoted. but if I change c25 to 41 the result doesn't change, it should go up by one i.e. 4. like wise, if I changed j17 to 40 the result should be 1.

> Hi Steve, > 39=0 OK [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Ken Johnson R.P.McMurphy - 17 Dec 2005 18:28 GMT Ken, yours is working well. my problem is I am using this formula in MS Word in a table to be used as a form. the answer goes in table 2 and the reference cells go in table 1. how would one change it to refer to the cells in table1? the formula as you have written it works great if used in the same table as the reference cells.
cheers

I don't know much about Word and what you're trying to do. Maybe the fact that you're in Word explains why Bob's SUMPRODUCT formula didn't work. Word's math ability is much much less than Excel's and it was just fortuitous that my formula only contains SUM and ABS, which Word probably has. All I can suggest is that you post your problem in one of the Word groups, such as microsoft.public.word.docmanagement. Sorry I can't do more than that, but I will be thinking about this problem of linking Word table values and will let you know if I have any success. Ken Johnson
R.P.McMurphy - 17 Dec 2005 22:18 GMT Thanks for that Ken, will try over there!
