Hello, suppose the following: I have a list of various departments. I want to count how many times each department shows up in a list. However, I am also only looking for it to be counted if another separate column doesn't have an 'x' in it.

What formula could I use for that? Example below:


A x
B
C
D x
A
B
C x
D
C
B
A x

A 1
B 3
C 2
D 1

I had seen and looked at that page, however I openly admit I struggle with formulas, which is why I was hoping someone could kindly assist me here.

Let A2:B12 house the sample you posted.

In E2 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Rich (BB code): 
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$12,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF($A$2:$A$12<>"",MATCH($A$2:$A$12,$A$2:$A$12,0)),
    ROW($A$2:$A$12)-ROW(INDEX($A$2:$A$12,1,1))+1),ROW($A$2:$A$12)-ROW(INDEX($A$2:$A$12,1,1))+1),
    ROWS($E$2:E2))),"")

In F2 just enter and copy down:
Rich (BB code): 
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$12,E2)-COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$12,E2,$B$2:$B$12,"x")

Sorry, I didn't explain myself accurately enough, let me try again:

SHEET2
A 1
B 3
C 2
D 1

Then on another separate spreadsheet tab (ie SHEET 2), it would show the total count not counting any with an X. Does that make sense?
