Hello,
I'm a Novice at excel

I need a formula that can give me a total for a specific item when the
criteria is blank . There are multiple sheets and I would need it to update
automically as I add more sheets and Xs to the corresponding item. please see
ex. below

Column A Column B
Waiting For Model: Phone Ready
Muziq X
Fusic
Muziq
Fusic X
muziq
Moto Q
Fusic
Moto Q
Fusic
....... .....


So what I'm looking for is
Waiting For Model: Total
Muziq 2
Moto Q 2
Fusic 3


Thanks in advance

If the data is inthe range a1:a10
=countif(a1:a10,a1)
with regards

You and use either of these formulas:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A9="Muziq")*(B1:B9="")*1)
or
=SUM(IF((A1:A9="Muziq")*(B1:B9=""),(A1:A9="Muziq") *(B1:B9="")*1))
entered as an array formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

They both give the same result.

Try this:

E2:E4 = Muziq, Moto Q, Fusic

Enter this formula in F2 and copy down to F4:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A$2:A$10=E2),--(B$2:B$10=""))

yshridhar,
That'll give him the total count for that product but he don't want to
count all of the products, he only wants to count the product if
column B is blank

He could however, use a COUNT(IF similar to my SUM(IF suggestion by
entering:
=COUNT(IF((A1:A9="Muziq")*(B1:B9=""),(A1:A9="Muziq ")*(B1:B9="")*1))
*Entered as an array formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

As with pretty much anything in Excel, There are several ways to get
the results he's looking for

=COUNT(IF((A1:A9="Muziq")*(B1:B9=""),(A1:A9="Muzi q")*(B1:B9="")*1))
*Entered as an array formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Try it like this:

=COUNT(IF((A1:A9="Muziq")*(B1:B9=""),1))
=COUNT(1/((A1:A9="Muziq")*(B1:B9="")))
