Hello,

I have a COUNTIFS formula [=COUNTIFS(B2:I2,"<70")] that calculates the number of times a score is less than 70, as follows:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Dates[/TD]
[TD]3/4/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/11/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/18/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/25/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/1/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/8/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/15/2019[/TD]
[TD]etc.[/TD]

How can I add a condition to the formula that allows to exclude scores that correspond to dates marked with an "X" within the "Calendar" sheet with the same organization as the above sheet, as follows:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Dates:[/TD]
[TD]3/4/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/11/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/18/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/25/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/1/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/8/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/15/2019[/TD]
[TD]etc.[/TD]

Thanks for any input!
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
How about
=COUNTIFS(B2:I2,"<70",Calendar!B2:I2,"<>x")

What if each student has their own "Calendar" sheet criteria such as below:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Dates:[/TD]
[TD]3/4/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/11/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/18/2019[/TD]
[TD]3/25/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/1/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/8/2019[/TD]
[TD]4/15/2019[/TD]
[TD]etc.[/TD]

How about
=COUNTIFS(B2:I2,"<70",INDEX(Calendar!$B$2:$I$4,MATCH(A2,Calendar!$A$2:$A$5,0),0),"<>x")

Amazing!! Thanks a lot!!

I might have one more condition added based on the new score sheets I have received, so I'll post if I can't figure out myself :)

I'm trying to use your formula from the "Main" Sheet, and I made adjustments as follows, but I'm getting the #VALUE ! error:

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]=COUNTIFS(Scores!B2:G2,"<70",INDEX(Calendar!$B$2:$I$4,MATCH(Scores!A2,Calendar!$A$2:$A$5,0),0),"<>x")

Am I missing anything? Thanks a lot! :)

(The scores are in the "Scores" sheet)<strike>
</strike>

You're ranges are different sizes
=COUNTIFS(Scores!B2:G2,"<70",INDEX(Calendar!$B$2:$I$4,MATCH(Scores!A2,Calendar!$A$2:$A$5,0),0),"<>x")
