Hierarchical counts - multilevel

[kc.crow]

Have an interesting problem. I suspect that this may need to be resolved with code but if there is a nifty array formula that would be even better.

Here's a sample set of data
A B C
Mgr Emp Y/N
M1 A1 Y
M1 A2 Y
M2 A3 N
M3 A4 Y
M5 A5 N
M1 Y
M3 M2 Y
M7 M3 Y
M2 M4 Y
M3 A6 Y
M2 A7 Y
M5 B1 N
M4 B2 N
M6 B3 Y
M1 M5 Y
M3 M6 Y
M1 M7 N

This is a simplified employee hierarchy. The row without an entry in column A is the top level (e.g. CEO) in the hierarchy. Basically this person has no manager. Everyone else will have a direct manager. As you can see, a manager is also an employee so they will appear in columns A and B (B only once).

What I'm trying to do is determine a way to count the "Y" values from column C for each roll-up of the hierarchy. So in this example, M2 is the manager of employees A3, M4, and A7. M4 is the manager of employee B2 so B2 also has to be counted in M2's total.

The number of levels will vary and the number of members per level will vary. I need to get total counts for each manager and all their employees and sub-employees below them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

This is really cool, but not quite working for this. I apologize if I was unclear. This gives the count of Y's for the manager column but am really needing the count of Y's for the employee column while taking into account the managers in the hierarchy or if the employee in the column is a manager. So the M's look great, but what is missing are the non-M's (the A's and B's). Is there a way to shift how your function is working to have the counts based on the employee column?

I think the values should be these (done manually)
Mgr Emp Y/N Count (Emp)
M1 A1 Y 1
M1 A2 Y 1
M2 A3 N 1
M3 A4 Y 1
M5 A5 N 1
M1 Y 12
M3 M2 Y 7
M7 M3 Y 8
M2 M4 Y 2
M3 A6 Y 1
M2 A7 Y 1
M5 B1 N 1
M4 B2 N 1
M6 B3 Y 1
M1 M5 Y 1
M3 M6 Y 2
M1 M7 N 1

Hopefully that helps. Thanks again!

Don't really understand this.

A1 present only once in Employee column with Y, hence count 1. Agreed

Could you explain how you get 7 for M2, if we look at the employee column..

M2 in Employee Column 1 Y
M2 in Manager - 3 Employees - A3 (N), M4(Y), A7(Y) - 2 Y
M4 in Manager - 1 Employee - B2(N) - 0 Y
Total 3.

I agree with Sandeep, I don't understand the row ("M3", "M2", "Y"), I also get 3. The row ("M1", "", "Y") is also an exception.

I used for the manager count and emplyee count,

In D2: =CountM(A2,$A$2:$C$18)

In E2: =IF(C2="Y",IF(B2="",CountM(A2,$A$2:$C$18),CountM(B2,$A$2:$C$18)+1),1)

Sorry, guys. It was pretty late for me and obviously my counting skills had seriously diminished.

You are correct about the M3, M2, Y row. Below is an update. I changed the meaning of the Count(emp) to reflect the count of emps that had Y. I was really punchy last night

mr excel example names.xls
	A	B	C	D	E
1	Mgr	Emp	Y/N	Y-Count(Emp)	Comments
2	M1	A1	Y	1	A1hasnochildren
3	M1	A2	Y	1	A2hasnochildren
4	M2	A3	N	0	A3hasnochildren
5	M3	A4	Y	1	A4hasnochildren

Thanks once again!

Hi Ron

Now it makes more sense. The only exception is the top level.

Try:

=IF(B2<>"",CountM(B2,$A$2:$C$18)+(C2="Y"),CountM(A2,$A$2:$C$18))
