Below is a set of data I am working on. I have named the customer satisfaction range as "CustomerSatisfaction" then i have applied a filter on the cities ie filter by "Melbourne" then i have named the customer satisfaction column with the filter on and called it "MelbourneCustomerSatisfaction". If i do a =CountIf(CustomerSatisfaction,5) named range, all works as expected, however if i do somethign like =CountIf(MelbourneCustomerSatisfaction, 2) it seems to just run is as =CountIf(CustomerSatisfaction,2) rather than apply the melbourne filter to it. Can anyone gimme a hand with this?

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Could you go to name manager and see what the refers to part says for 'MelbourneCustomerSatisfaction'. Is it what you expect?

Thanks for your response Steve.

You are right! The named range is not the range that I am after, it chooses random parts of the total column. not sure where excel chooses them from. Is there a way to filter the data and create a range using that filter? Im pretty new to excel so sorry for all the questions and very much appreciate your help.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Do you really need to do the filtering?
What version of Excel are you using?

Assuming a reasonably recent version of Excel, here are a couple of options that may be of use.

First, if not done already, turn the data into a formal Excel table (via Insert ribbon tab).

Then you could ...

1. Use a formula like I have in cell H1 to count the Melbourne/2 rows, or

2. Create a Pivot Table (again on the Insert ribbon tab) to get all the City/Satisfaction counts.
