The preview sheet is a small sample of a much larger worksheet but it gives an idea of what I'm trying to figure out.


Is there a better way to CountIf without typing in the CountIf Function in the top row of cells, adjusting all the cell addresses, then selecting the top row of formulas and dragging them down the sheet?

Essentially, I have the CountIf Range values (Integers) starting in C10:G LastRow or cells (10,3), cells (LastRow, 7).

The first two columns are an ID number and Date. They're not part of the CountIf Range.

The criterias of the CountIf function are in I9:AY9. Each cell is a criteria. Criteria values are Integers. They are static $I$9, $J$9, $K$9, etc.

The Formulas start in I53 through AY53. I want to CountIf the values of the -43 rows, Range, with criteria values in I9 through AY9.

The -43 rows would be dynamic as I drag the selected cells down the spreadsheet.

Additionally, I'd like to go two rows past the LastRow of range data. This would give me an idea of criteria results before filling in the data of the LastRow.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can crack this. ChatGPT gave up. I explained it a thousand ways. No help or I can't vibe with AI. That's fine.

If you prefer to do something simple using the preview, I can probably edit it with the cell addresses, row count, etc. I need for the larger worksheet. I had to zoom down too small to use it as a preview showing formulas.

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Sort by date Sort by votes
I should also add that I prefer to have the value in each cell without the formula.

Below is a Sub that looks like it should work for my request, but, it doesn't and I can not figure out why. It compiles without errors. When I run it in my worksheet it doesn't leave any values. It leaves nothing. No debug errors come up.

Any clue from a macro genius out there that can tell me what's wrong with the code?


VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

Sub CountIfL43()

Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long

LastRow = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
LastColumn = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column

For i = 10 To LastRow
For j = 9 To LastColumn
    Cells(i, LastColumn + 1).Value = _
        Application.CountIf(Range(Cells(i, 3).Offset(-43, 0), Cells(i, 7)), Cells(j, 9).Value)
Next j
Next i

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

End Sub

I ran this macro in a new worksheet and it did give me an Application defined or Object defined error for this line of code:

Cells(i, LastColumn + 1).Value = _
Application.CountIf(Range(Cells(i, 3).Offset(-43, 0), Cells(i, 7)), Cells(j, 9).Value)

My CountIf range should start at C10:G52. The range moves down one row each day, next day CountIf range would be C11:G53.

Any help would be appreciated. I also don't understand why I got no error or results in my original worksheet

I'm not entirely sure that I have a full grip of what you have and what you are trying to do. However, I think this might be close.
Give it a test with a copy of your worksheet.

In the 'Const' line in the code I have used 5 which is what you seem to have used in the post 1 sample though it sounds like you might eventually want 43 there?

Just a side note: It is my understanding that vba converts Integer values to Long values to work with them, so simpler to declare them that way to start with.

VBA Code: 
Sub Test()
  Dim LastRow As Long, LastColumn As Long
  
  Const RowOffset As Long = 5 '43

  LastRow = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 2
  LastColumn = Range("I9").End(xlToRight).Column
  With Range("I10").Offset(RowOffset).Resize(LastRow - 9 - RowOffset, LastColumn - 8)
    .Formula = Replace("=COUNTIF($C10:$G#,I$9)", "#", 9 + RowOffset)
    .Value = .Value
  End With
End Sub

Peter,

That is perfect! I can not thank you enough. I also like the fact that I can easily change the:
Const RowOffset As Long = 5
Click to expand...
to count as many past rows as I'd like. I could even put in a MsgBox and another line of code asking how many past rows I'd like to go back.

This is awesome. THANK YOU!

Glad it worked well for you. Thanks for the follow-up. :)

Or another possibility would be to use a cell on the worksheet (eg I8) and have the code get the value from there.

Good idea other than it would breach #5 of the Forum Rules ;)
The helpers here just like helping for the fun of it so there is definitely no need for money to get involved. It usually ends up causing problems anyway. 😎

BTW, Mark as solution should be the actual post that contains the solution, not your feedback message, so I have changed that for you.

Good idea on using a cell vs. a MsgBox. The amount of time and frustration saved is worth more than a "Thank You!" in a reply, hence tip jar suggestion. I do understand the problems it could create. Thank You, Sir.

Quick question. I tried to assign a cell value (H9) to the Const RowOffset As Long =, in a variety of ways but it keeps giving me an error. Do I need to change the Const RowOffSet assignment to something else?

Yes

Rich (BB code): 
Sub Test2()
  Dim LastRow As Long, LastColumn As Long
  Dim RowOffset As Long
  
  RowOffset = Range("H9").Value
  LastRow = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 2
  LastColumn = Range("I9").End(xlToRight).Column
  With Range("I10").Offset(RowOffset).Resize(LastRow - 9 - RowOffset, LastColumn - 8)
    .Formula = Replace("=COUNTIF($C10:$G#,I$9)", "#", 9 + RowOffset)
    .Value = .Value
  End With
