Hello! I'm trying to figure out the formula that would count all specific values in every third column.
Basically every 3rd column, I have a list of names. This goes on for hundreds of columns. Think of these as Win/Loss columns, so I can't just count all columns. It's every 3rd column. I need to be able to count how many times one persons name appears in the win columns in total, and how many times their name appears in the loss column in total. Data starts at K5:K. So I need to count the number of times the name appears in K5:K + N5:N + Q5:Q + T5:T ......
Please help :)
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
This might be more clear context: I'm essentially trying to avoid having to type this formula because the dataset is very large (it goes all the way to ZX currently and will get bigger):

=COUNTIF(K5:K,D5)+COUNTIF(N5:N,D5)+COUNTIF(Q5:Q,D5)......

Need it to count all instances of whatever is in D5 for every third column starting with K.

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Guessing a bit about what your data is like but see if something like this might help.

Thank you Peter that worked perfectly! I didn't think about labelling the top of the rows win/loss to ensure it was counting from the correct columns. You are awesome sir!

You're welcome. Thanks for the follow-up. :)

I had assumed headings something like I used would have already been there otherwise it could be a tricky worksheet for anybody reading it. :eek:
