Count number or occurrences of each day in a date range, less holidays.
I'm hoping someone can help me with a formula.  I need to know how many Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, .... Sundays occur in a given date range; less any holidays.
I've got the following:
E2 = Start Date
F2 = End Date
H2 = Day to count

Range of holiday dates = C2:C15  

I've found a few solutions to count the days, but can't find / understand what i need to do to  check it against the list of holiday dates.

Anyone know how to make this work?

I'd love to understand how the formula works as well.

Counting specific text in cells
I was just wondering if this could be done.

I have a column called "confirmed attendees" and a column called "# of attendees".

In 'confirmed attendees' column, there would be a number of different initials. For example - ab,cd, ef, gh etc.

Is it possible to have '# of attendees' count the specific text in the 'confirmed attendee's column?

For example:

ab = 1
ab cd = 2
ab gh ef = 3?

Can this be done?

Thanks so much for any help!!

I stripped down some information, but this what the spreadsheet is like.

a-i = just event info

I usually put initials in the J column separated by spaces (doesn't really matter) - en, th, br, rk, js and fc to be exact.

I would like the # of attendees to reflect the number of initials.  SO if there's ag and en, then it would be 2. If there is en th br, then it would be 3.

I will then take that and multiply it by the corresponding I column to give a total value in L.

Does that help?

Thanks Yogi.

in the following I have created a computed range K5:K where I compute the number of attendees and cell K5 also delineates the Total # of Attendees ... the computed range updates automatically and dynamically as new information is entered in range J5:J

I am trying to run a relatively simple index, match, match on a range of data.

Auto Sorting
I'm trying to figure out how to auto sort the information that is imputed into the attached spreadsheet via a Google Form. I need it to be sorted by station code (column C) in alphabetical order. I can do it manually but auto sorting would save me time as I have the information pulled into another spreadsheet utilizing the =importrange function and would like to only reference that spreadsheet without having to go and manually sort new submissions. Is there a simple formula to use for this function to work?

Yogi,


In the sheet all information is populated by a Google Form on a daily basis. In sheet1 I need all submission to be automatically sorted by "station code" (column C) in alphabetical order. I currently must go into each spreadsheet and manually sort the information or my Master Database, =importrange function will not reflect up to date sorted information. Overall, I just need all new submissions to be automatically sorted in sheet1 by "station code" (column C) in alphabetical order.

Using Form/Spreadsheet as sign-in sheet.
I'm trying to create a quick cheap sign-in system for my library.

I've created a Form where students enter their ID#. On the backend spreadsheet, I have Form Responses, a Reference Sheet that has their student ID# in column a, first name in Column B, and last name in Column C. I'm trying to create an Attendance Sheet that will pull ID# from Form Responses look at Reference Sheet and put their name with it.

I have successfully done this using vlookup. 

The problem I'm having is that every time a new response is submitted, it does not auto-populate the Attendance sheet. 

Is there an easier way to do this?

Link to Form, Link to backend Spreadsheet.

Thanks in advance!

EXACT formua is not working expectadly in few of the cells...

I am trying to use a simple formula : =ARRAYFORMULA(EXACT(C3:C7, D3:D7)) but it seems to be not giving the expected result at few of the cells.

Please see this sheet. The cell E4 should be telling TRUE instead of FALSE. Please tell me both : WHY it is not giving the desired result, and HOW to fix it.

Thanks!

How do I count individual integers in a range of numbers?

I have a range a numbers, 1, 2, or 3 digit, and I need to know the frequency of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

For example, if I have:
1
2
3
11
15
26
27
28
29

So the output of the formula applied to the range should tell me there are:
1's - 4
2's - 5
3's - 1
4's - 0
5's - 1
6's - 1
7's - 1
8's - 1
9's - 1

I think what I'm needing is pretty straight-forward, but I just can't seem to find it on the forums.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

What would the functions be for 'Template Tracking' page in C2, D2 and E2?
Essentially if a value exists in 'Email Tracking' column D then count it (if nothing there, then don't) and the create sum in appropriate place on 'Template Tracking' page based on 'Template #' in 'Email Tracking' column C.
For basic example, I used the function
=countIf('Email Tracking'!C:C;"Template #1")
for Column B of 'Template Tracking' page

...it seems to work great for what I am looking for, though cannot seem to process 'zero' quantity (puts 1 instead). Any ideas of a workaround for that?

Autofill Spreadsheet cells with Formula Question
Hi everyone.  

I'd like to display a "running average" in one column of my table, so each cell in that column would have the following formula:
=AVERAGE(D2:D2)
=AVERAGE(D2:D3)
=AVERAGE(D2:D4)
...etc.

I was under the impression that if I manually entered the first few rows, selected them all, and then dragged the mouse downward through the remaining columns in my table...it would correctly keep the "D2" field the same and increment the "DX" field as appropriate. Instead it seems to be incrementing both fields, so I have to go in and manually fix each row. Is there any way to do what I want with less manual work? In this example it's not a huge deal....but as the formula's get more complicated (and reference a static constant that's stored in a specific cell elsewhere in the spreadsheet, it becomes a huge hassle.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello!

I would have used the search function, had I been able to formulate my question in a succinct manner. :-)

My workbook has a sheet in which all participants in a course are listed, including their nationality (sheet A). Another sheet (downloaded externally), has a list with all participants that have successfully received a certificate for the course (sheet B) - alas without their nationality.

I am trying to write a formula that would search sheet A for names present on sheet B, and when found add the corresponding value for 'nationality' in sheet B.

Is this possible? Thanks in advance for the help.
