My formula is below. But this is my issue:

I have sheet 1 and sheet 2. I think what I might be trying to do is simple but I'm not sure if it should be a match, match if or index formula.

In sheet 3 in Column A...I have a list of unique names of clothing brands.

In sheet 2 in Column A...I have a list of the same clothing brands except allot of brand names repeat over and over throughout 1500 lines.
In sheet 2 in column B...Its a column that has a Y or an N....


What I'm trying to do is in sheet3, column B - I want my formula to look up the name in column A, then search the name in SHEET2 and find all the times the clothing brand name appears and how many times "Y" appears for that clothing brand then put that number in the cell in sheet3 column B. My formula:

Rich (BB code): 
=INDEX(Sheet2!$b$2:$b$1517,MATCH(sheet3!"a2",$a$2:$a$345))



Some of this formula might be right, but I'm not sure what to add, so it searches through the range and adds up how many times it finds the letter Y. Anyway any help is appreciated.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you just want the COUNT of the Brand with Y:


Excel 2010
ABCDE
1BrandBrandCount w/ Y

3BYB2

5AN
6AY
7BN

Add Sheet Name to formula, copied down.

Hey thanks for the reply.

You got the right idea. See the unique clothing brand names are listed in sheet3 - lines A2:A345. Each clothing brand is only listed once

In sheet2 lines A2:A1517 it is a list of the same clothing brands except they repeat...For example Nike might appear 25 times throughout the list.
Also in sheet 2 - column B has a Y or an N.

So in sheet3 in column B what I'm trying to get the formula to do is take the value in sheet3 cell A2 (lets say its Nike) and go search for the "Nike" name in Sheet 2, and sum up how many times Iit finds the Nike and the letter Y beside it, and insert that total in Sheet3 cell B2.

Does that make sense? That's why I thought Index/Match?

Oh, I did try the CountIfs, so this is what the formula looks like, and in Sheet3, B2 all the formula returns is #VALUE
Code: 
=COUNTIFS(A$2:A$345,A2,Sheet2!B$2:C$1517,"Y")

You've adjusted the formula incorrectly, it should be:

=COUNTIFS(Sheet2!A$2:A$1517,A2,Sheet2!B$2:C$1517,"Y")

The OP states at least twice that column B of Sheet2 has a Y or N, not B:C. Besides, that would be troublesome.

That wasn't my mistake nor misunderstanding of the OP, I copied his formula from Post #4 to correct his First part, but didn't see his mistake with the 2nd part where he had put column C in.
Check my Post #2 , that's what it was all along.
My mistake was not also catching his 2nd mistake, I didn't use Column C.
