Creating a formula to count values in a range
google sheets - "Count cells that is between 2 times" - Stack Overflow
I want to count how many cells have a value between X and Y.
I know I can do <, <=, =, >=, >. But I don't know how to do it when I want the number of cells that is in between two values.
For context: I have a steps tracker which already works perfectly. I have conditional formatting that cells turn a certain colour between values.
Now I want in T15 the number of cells that have earned a bronze medal (value between 4500 and 4999), in T16 the number of silver medals (value between 5000 and 9999) and in T17 the gold medals (>=10000) which is simple.
I hope someone understands and knows the answer. The range is B3:M33.
Use a combination of the ARRAYFORMULA, SUM and arithmetic operations
Use the approach provided in barry houdini's answer. To count all of the clicks by a 26 year old:
=ARRAYFORMULA(sum((A:A=26) * (C:C="true")))
There are 3 parts to this operation.
- The ARRAYFORMULA takes care of looping over the specified range
- The SUM manages counting all of the true results
Essentially, true is being converted to 1 and false is being converted to 0. Boolean logic is done by using arithmetic operations.
An AND operation uses multiplication:
- (1 * 1) = 1 - (True && True) = True
- (1 * 0) = 0 - (True && False) = False
- (0 * 0) = 0 - (False && False) = False
An OR operation uses a combination of the *SIGN function and addition:
- sign(1 + 1) = 1 - (True || True) = True
- sign(1 + 0) = 1 - (True || False) = True
- sign(0 + 0) = 0 - (False || False) = False
Note: The sign function is necessary because of the way boolean addition works differently than arithmetic addition. Basically in boolean addition 1 + 1 = 1, in arithmetic addition 1 + 1 = 2. Obviously, arithmetic addition will mess up the count so you need to run the results of the addition operations through a sign function. The sign function returns 1 if the value is positive, 0 if the value is 0, and -1 if the value is negative.
Lets say you wanted to count the clicks for all users between age 20-25:
=ARRAYFORMULA(sum(sign((A:A=20) + (A:A=21) + (A:A=22) + (A:A=23) + (A:A=24) + (A:A=25)) * (C:C="true")))
Google Sheets now includes the COUNTIFS function which can directly handle the required job.
=COUNTIFS(A:A, E2, C:C, true)
Syntax
=COUNTIFS(
criteria_range1, criterion1,
[criteria_range2, criterion2,
...])
You can include as many criteria_range, criterion pairs as you need.
Hello,
I am trying to create a formula which can count and print the number of cell values in a range that are 10=<x<20, 20=<x<30 and so on until 50. I tried using =COUNTIF however, I am facing problems.
I would appreciate your help.
