Cell value in COUNTIF range?

[EssKayKay]

Hello,

Is it possible to include the value of a cell in the COUNTIF range?

I have a couple formulas counting the number of cells in a range that are > 1. I can hardcode in the range. However, the last cell in the range can change. The column remains constant. The last row value is in cell T13.

Example:
This “hardcoded” version works fine; however the S113 location can change –
=COUNTIF(S33:S113,">1")

Something like this is what I had in mind –
=COUNTIF(S33:S: & range(“T13”).value,">1")


Thanks for viewing,
Steve K.

you can use a indirect() to find the range
I assume that T13 will have something like S113 within it ? - IS that correct?
OR does T13 just have a number in and you want to be the row , as shown in your example
OR
just use a range larger then likely to find
=COUNTIF(S33:S10000,">1")

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("S33:"&T13),">"&1) - assuming T13 has S in
OR
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("S33:S"&T13),">"&1) = assuminf T13 is just a number

Thank you etaf for getting back to me.

The reason I didn't just use a larger number is because there could be other cells populated beyond the last row noted in cell T13. I only want to address the range S33 through S (last row).

Your second formula is exactly what I had in mind. The reason it only contains the row number and not the column letter is because T13's value is used in other formulas addressing different columns with the row noted in T13.

Thanks again,
SKK
