A while back, I received some phenomenal help from @Nishant94 regarding a complex formula I was trying to build to capture unique number of overlap days based upon some criteria.

The original thread is here:

Count Number of Unique Overlap Days - Meeting Criteria

The formula (CSE) is this:

{=SUM(--(MMULT((ROW(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))>=TRANSPOSE(IF(Events!$A$2:$A$19=A2,Events!$C$2:$C$19)))*(ROW(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))<=TRANSPOSE(IF(Events!$A$2:$A$19=A2,Events!$D$2:$D$19))),Events!$C$2:$C$19^0)>0))}

The formula Nishant94 provided me works great.

However, now I need to modify it slightly to account for one additional criteria. I would think it should be somewhat simple based upon the criteria, but am not 100% sure I know where I should input the additional criteria in the already existing formula.

I have added an additional column (column E) to my sheet 2 (see original post) which contains either "Yes" or "No".

I only want to count the unique number of days, which the formula above does, but only for those rows where the new column has a YES in it.

I was thinking of something like:

{=SUM(--(MMULT((ROW(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))>=TRANSPOSE(IF(Events!$E$2:$E$19="Yes",IF(Events!$A$2:$A$19=A2,Events!$C$2:$C$19))))*(ROW(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))<=TRANSPOSE(IF(Events!$E$2:$E$19="Yes",IF(Events!$A$2:$A$19=A2,Events!$D$2:$D$19)))),Events!$C$2:$C$19^0)>0))}


I haven't tested it yet (going to in just a moment), but was hoping to get someone's input on if it should theoretically work or if I have my order and syntax perhaps incorrect. I am not very experienced with the MMULT function so still struggle to ensure it is aligned correctly.

Anythoughts, ideas, corrections, input, is greatly appreciated!!

Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Actually, now that I think about it, I think that I need my formula to be the following:

{=SUM(--(MMULT((ROW(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))>=TRANSPOSE(IF(Events!$A$2:$A$19=A2,IF(Events!$E$2:$E$19="Yes",Events!$C$2:$C$19))))*(ROW(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))<=TRANSPOSE(IF(Events!$A$2:$A$19=A2,IF(Events!$E$2:$E$19="Yes",Events!$D$2:$D$19)))),Events!$C$2:$C$19^0)>0))}

That way it identifies the item first, if it is present, then if it has a Yes.

Giving this a try.
