How do I work this one out please? IF 'A20' is not null AND 'A16' is null OR 'A17' is null then COUNT result in 'A14' on a different spreadsheet!!!!! help me please ........... Try this....... =IF(OR(AND(Sheet1!A20<>"",Sheet1!A16=""),Sheet1!A17=""),1,"") Just change the Sheet1 to whatever sheet number you want the calculations done for. hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > How do I work this one out please? > > IF 'A20' is not null AND 'A16' is null OR 'A17' is null then COUNT result in > 'A14' on a different spreadsheet!!!!! > > help me please ...........

My end results need to fill in this on a summary sheet called SAR: Ongoing Follow Ups New = Ongoing Follow Ups Used = and the data to be used is coming from separate worksheets called 1 - 31: cell refs Z26:Z43 (N) AB26:AB43 (N) AD26:AD43 AA26:AA43 (U) AC26:AC43 (U) Dealt Hand Over Forward date N U N U 14/05 etc If there is a forward date then the customer will be an ongoing follow up UNLESS there is a tick in the new or used Dealt or Handover boxes. Ive got no nails left!!!!! Carol > Copy and Paste your formula here, we'll take a look.......... > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > > > > > help me please ........... Try this...... =IF(OR(AND(COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0,COUNTA('Test Data'!Z26:Z43)=0),COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0),1,"") All on one line, watch out for wordwrap Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > =IF(OR(AND('TEST DATA'!AD26:AE43<>"",'TEST DATA'!Z26:Z43=""),'TEST > DATA'!AB26:AB43=""),1,"") [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... Hi Chuck thanks for your answer, but i must be blonder than i thought!! I copied and pasted it, made sure it only goes an one line, but im still getting nothing in the box - not even a zero. How dumb am i being? thanks again Carol > Try this....... > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > > help me please ........... I dunno, must be some problem with the transfer......I just re-tried copy and pasteing the formula in to cell C1 on my sheet1 and I get a return of 1, and considering there is no data in column A, this would be the correct return. Maybe just try hand-typing the formula in place..........is your Sheet1 for sure named Sheet1? Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > Hi Chuck > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > > > > > help me please ........... No, Sheet 1 is called test data, which is what youve got in your formula. Im so sorry to be a flipping nuisance but i really am clueless!! Would the fact that AD and AE are merged cells be causing the problem? Ive copied and pasted what my sheet looks like DEALT HANDOVER TO DATE N U N U 16.5 1 24.6 1 14.5 1 11.7 Carol x > I dunno, must be some problem with the transfer......I just re-tried copy and > pasteing the formula in to cell C1 on my sheet1 and I get a return of 1, and [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > > > > > > > help me please ........... Ignore my previous, I was looking at the wrong formula.......... I dunno...........I just re-tested this one and it worked fine....... =IF(OR(AND(COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0,COUNTA('Test Data'!Z26:Z43)=0),COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0),1,"") The only other thing I can think of is your SheetName might not be EXACTLY the same as that in the formula.........might be a leading space or two spaces in between the words or something like that........Try changing it's name and then changing it back real carefully..........and don't worry about coming back and coming back......we're here to try to help you get the answer........

Ive just tried it again on a different sheet and replaced the 'test data' bit and it sort of works. The only snag now is that the data sheet had nothing in it at all but the summary sheet gives me a total of 1. I dont know if thats better or worse!!! Carol x > Ignore my previous, I was looking at the wrong formula.......... > [quoted text clipped - 66 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... The result you're seeing is the expected result of the formula......the very last part says.......if the COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0, then make the result 1.....that can be changed of course to whatever you would like Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > I think i love you!!!!

Excellent!! - i think youve cracked it - so if i change the '1' for '0' at the end will that give me zero in my summary sheet if there are no follow up appointments due then? thanks again Carol > The result you're seeing is the expected result of the formula......the very > last part says.......if the COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0, then make the [quoted text clipped - 81 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... It should, you could even change it to this if you wished.......... =IF(OR(AND(COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0,COUNTA('Test Data'!Z26:Z43)=0),COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0),"No follow-up appointments due","") Note that if you are using TEXT, that you have to enclose it in the double-quotes.

You are an absolute star - thank you soooooo much for your helkp and patience. If im ever in your neck of the woods, I'll buy you a beer. Take care and thanks again, although Im sure I'll be back with another problem soon!!! Carol x > It should, you could even change it to this if you wished.......... > [quoted text clipped - 100 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... You're most welcome, it's our pleasure to be of help........please feel free to come back anytime, and thanks for the feedback.

[quoted text clipped - 109 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... Just another thought - would you be able to explain to me in words how the formula actually breaks down - that way i might have a vague chance of working it out for myself next time? thanks again Carol > It should, you could even change it to this if you wished.......... > [quoted text clipped - 100 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... Ok, it's not easy to be real clear on t hings like this, but I'll try....... The formula is =IF(OR(AND(COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0,COUNTA('Test Data'!Z26:Z43)=0),COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0),1,"") First, the term COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0, means the total COUNT of any cells within the range of AD26 through AB43 being NOT EQUAL to ZERO.....in other words, there IS at least one cell in that range that contains a value........likewise for the other similar versions of the COUNTA term used in the formula.....it COUNTS the number of cells that meets it's qualifications. Therefore, the formula says that IF, either of the following conditions are true, "there is at least one cell within the range 'Test Data'!AD26:AE43 that contains a value, AND, there are NO cells within the range 'Test Data'!Z26:Z43 that contain any values" OR, "there are NO cells within the range 'Test Data'!AB26:AB43 that contain any values", then return the result of 1, otherwise, return only a blank cell. And hey, if you run into difficulty formulating the next one, just come on back........

Im back!!!!! sorry ........ actually thats really much clearer than you thought - i can work out more or less what it means now - the only problem is that having just filled in a load of data on the real thing, double and treble checked the formula - its now coming back with a value of zero (whereas before it was coming back with one) even though i have got two definate follow up appointments that should show on the summary sheet. I dont know whether to cry or hang myself!

Fear not...........thi difficulty is with the logic, not the process. We must first define EXACTLY what you wish to have happen, then re-write the formula......... Here's one possible try......see if it does anything right. Otherwise, try to verbalize your needs in regular words. =IF(AND(COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0,COUNTA('Test Data'!Z26:Z43)=0),1,IF(COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0,"None","")) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > Im back!!!!! > [quoted text clipped - 156 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... OK thats it - i give up!!! im going for the hanging myself option now. Didnt like that one at all. I'll write in words what i need: IF "there is at least one cell within the range 'Test Data'!AD26:AE43 that contains a value, AND, there are NO cells within the range 'Test Data'!Z26:Z43 that contain any values" OR, there are NO cells within the range 'Test Data'!AB26:AB43 that contain any values", then return that total number of values. ie: If column AD/AE is populated and column Z and/or column AB is populated, remove them from the count. count how many 'populated' values are left in AD/AE and give me the total. I THINK! I hate logic!!! > Fear not...........thi difficulty is with the logic, not the process.

No hanging allowed.........never give up!!! Maybe this one........... =IF(AND(COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43)<>0,COUNTA('Test Data'!Z26:Z43)=0,COUNTA('Test Data'!AB26:AB43)=0),COUNTA('Test Data'!AD26:AE43),"") Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > OK thats it - i give up!!! im going for the hanging myself option now. > Didnt like that one at all.

Oh dear - no joy with that one either - doesnt give me anything at all. Is it allowable that i fax or (e)mail you a copy of my spreadsheet so you can actually see what i need to do - im wondering if im making the issue more complicated by not explaining it very well. I feel really awful keep asking you for help - i know you said you dont mind but even so ...... > No hanging allowed.........never give up!!! > Maybe this one........... [quoted text clipped - 200 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > help me please ........... Of course you can email me a file, but you must NOT post it to the group.....send it here at this computer....and I am leaving for work now and won't be back at this computer for 11 hours....about 5pm my time here in St. Petersburg Florida...........I will look at it this evening and get back to you.... croberts@TAKETHISOUTtampabay.rr.com remove the obvious from the above email addy And, when you say this new formula "doesn't give you anything at all", does that mean you only get a blank cell, no matter how you might populate the different ranges? Looking forward to getting your file......... Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > Oh dear - no joy with that one either - doesnt give me anything at all.
