I have a spread sheet with several columns:
[TABLE="width: 683"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl68, width: 122"]Date Purchased[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, width: 266"]Item[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, width: 98"]Mint Year[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, width: 69"]Type[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, width: 76"]Metal[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67, width: 52"]Oz[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

The entries have 3 different Types: Coin, Ingot and Round. I want a formula that will query the entire table and show me how many coins I have. How can I do this? I'm wanting to show the results on another sheet.
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Thank you for pointing me into the right direction, I was able to use countIf to could the amount of entries that were Silver.
Code:
=COUNTIF(E2:E2000,"Silver")

Now, what I need to do is calculate the weight of the silver items, I am stuck with that query. Here's what I tried, along with other formulas that got me no where:
Code:
=SUM(F2:F2000) * J3
I must have to have some sort of countif in there but am not sure.... Here's an example of the table:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]F[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Date Purchased[/TD]
[TD]Item[/TD]
[TD]Mint year[/TD]

Thank you, that makes sense now. If this were SQL I'd have a lot easier time. :) I think this will point me into the right direction.
