This is not enough. employee is a text, you can't sum text, you need numbers.
Excelchat Expert
02/02/2018 - 02:24
Please understand my situation. If you don't provide enough data I'm helpless.
User
02/02/2018 - 02:24

User
02/02/2018 - 02:25
Orders and occurences are both numbers
Excelchat Expert
02/02/2018 - 02:25

Excelchat Expert

only one months show orders greater than zero with no occurences
User

Excelchat Expert

Excelchat Expert

Thanks for being patient and making it clear. gimme a few minutes to write the formula.
Excelchat Expert
02/02/2018 - 02:46
Okay, here is a possible solution. Based on the data representation, first you need to cluster every order and occurrence and perform a AND operation as showed in G4, G5, G6. Then use a COUNTIF formula like showed in E5.
