How to use COUNTIFS in between "current week" and "the specified week"?

Hello,

In my tables of scores, I sometimes need to know how many times each student had scores that were below or above a particular score or within a certain range. (It's a growing table such that each week I add a new column at where column B is.) All weeks are indicated per column by the Friday of that week.

I came up with this formula below that counts the scores meeting the criteria for each student. However, this formula scans the entire row:

=COUNTIFS(5:5,">80",5:5,"<100")

And if I specify a range, then I have to manually update the formulas each week because of addition of a new column each week:

=COUNTIFS(B5:AF5,">80",B5:AF5,"<100")

Given that my columns have the week identifier, is there any way I can specify a date range for my formula such that the beginning week of the range is the "current week" and the end week of the range is a week number I specify in a cell as shown below? In this example, I want the formula to scan 20 weeks starting from the current week:

Hi R,

Could you use this? The catch is its easier to work with this type of data when you have Dates & Scores as entries vs Students as columns. If needed you can drag the weeks down to 20.

Edit: Ignore this post - see the next one.

I'm not sure where you are putting these formulas, but for the layout you posted in the original post, for row 5 it could be

=COUNTIFS(B5:INDEX(B5:BZ5,B$2),">80",B5:INDEX(B5:BZ5,B$2),"<100")

and copy down for the other rows.
Where I have used column BZ, just use any column that will always be more than the extent of your data.

Actually, ignore my last post. If you are inserting cells to add the new week, you might need something like this.

Excel Workbook
ABCDE
1begin:current week
2end:3

If you then insert new cells at B4:B7, the formulas in rows 11:13 will still pick up those new cells as the "current week" for the new data added.
For example, here I have added new cells as described and entered some new data. The formulas now (automatically) reflect the results from a different set of columns.

Thank you all for the solutions. Just got home from work, so I'm gonna spend some time to go over all the answers and digest them, and I'll post feedback soon. Thanks again!

I really liked Muhammad's solution. I think it's the easiest and most flexible as it lets me indicate both the beginning and end dates very easily. Just one thing is that it would be awesome if I could set the beginning date as a certain date or TODAY(), and indicate the end date by going back in time by the specified number of weeks (opposite of the current algorithm where it comes forward in time form the start date of 04/13/2018). I tried to change the formulas like below, but now it doesn't work, and I get all zeros :)

[TABLE="width: 161"]
<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Beginning Date[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]TODAY()[/TD]

[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Closing Date[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]B1-(B2*7)
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


I think the rest of the formulas need to be changed as well, but I couldn't figure how. So Muhammad, could you please update your solution so it works by going back in time? Thanks much!



RasGhul's solution would be difficult to implement because I have too many sheets already written in the current format, and changing them would be very time consuming.

Peter's solution is also very simple and nice, but not able to implement the begin and end dates as flexibly as Muhammad's solution.

Thanks everybody!

I did it that way because that was what you specifically asked for. ;)

.. is there any way I can specify a date range for my formula such that the beginning week of the range is the "current week" and the end week of the range is a week number I specify in a cell as shown below?

Yes, thanks. After reading Mohammad's response, I realized it will be be better to have that extra flexibility. Hopefully he can send the revised solution, but if you wanna add that feature to your solution, that will be awesome too :) thanks!

Doesn't that still have the problem of when you insert a new column at the left you have to manually adjust the ranges in the formulas?

See if this modification helps. If you want to go back in time instead of forward, still put your 'anchor' data in B1 but use a negative number of weeks in B2.
If you insert a new column C, my formulas in column B should still pick up that new column (if in the target date range) & also expand to the right to keep all the data within range.
I have also made it easier to change the score range using cells E1:E2

My example is counting in the green columns (backwards 4 weeks starting at the date in B1).
