I have a spreadsheet where I need to tally the number of Yes, No and N/A
anwsers. How can I add them if the letter
"x" is being used to mark the answer?
From: Gord Dibben on 15 Apr 2010 11:41
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"x")

Assuming you have 3 columns for Yes, No and N/A and they are putting an X in
the relevant column, you can use the countif function for each columns range
e.g.
=COUNTIF(A1:A500,"x")
=COUNTIF(B1:B500,"x")
=COUNTIF(C1:C500,"x")

Assume that your “YES”, “NO” and N/A values are in A Column from A1 to A100
and the marking text X in B column from B1 to B100.

Count Number of Yes From A1 to A100
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="YES")*(B1:B100="X"))

Count Number of NO From A1 to A100
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="NO")*(B1:B100="X"))

Count Number of N/A From A1 to A100
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="N/A")*(B1:B100="X"))

To get all the above in one instance try the below one.
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="YES")*(B1:B100="X"))&" YES -
"&SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="NO")*(B1:B100="X"))&" NO -
"&SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="N/A")*(B1:B100="X"))&" N/A"

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!

The COUNTIF function can do this. E.g,.

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"x")

will return the number of "x" entries in the range A1:A10.
