I am just creating your formula so you can test - won't be long!

Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:34
can you copy the exact formula you have in cell K24?
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:35

K24
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:36
Is it returning any values?
User 13/04/2018 - 07:36
no
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:36
are you able to share your sheet at all?
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:38
Maybe copy and paste the formula into the cell instead of manually typing it (if you didn't do that in the first place) and see if it works?
User 13/04/2018 - 07:39
okay let me try
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:39
Sure thing
User 13/04/2018 - 07:39
okay i did that
User 13/04/2018 - 07:40
and it says the formula has a mistake in it
User 13/04/2018 - 07:40
in the K12 part
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:40
you copied exactly this:
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:40
=countif(B6:K12,">200")
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:40
into cell K24?
User 13/04/2018 - 07:41
yes
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:42
Are you able to share your Excel file?
User 13/04/2018 - 07:42
it says i should write range than criteria
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:42
For sure - that's exactly what the formula is doing
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:43
It's so weird I'd love to see your file to see what's up
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:43
the range is B6:K12
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:44
the criteria is ">200"
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:44
and there's a comma between them
Excelchat Expert 13/04/2018 - 07:49
That is definitely the formula that you'd want to use. Feel free to contact us back if you need further assistance anytime and we will help.
