Counting the occurrence of "Y" & "N" in Excel 2007
I'm just now trying to learn the COUNTIF function but obviously am having a
problem... If the cell range is (A5:A370) and I need to count the "Y" 's and the "N" 's with the answer resulting in the following format: YYYY/NNNN what would I use? Any help apreciated! -- ~Christi |

You really want: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/nnnnnnnnnnnnnn or maybe: =countif(a5:a370,"y")&"/"&countif(a5:a370,"n") to see something like: 140/139 Christi wrote: I'm just now trying to learn the COUNTIF function but obviously am having a problem...

Hi,
Try this: =COUNTIF(A5:A370,"Y")&"/"&COUNTIF(A5:A370,"N") However if your really trying to get the ratio =COUNTIF(A5:A370,"Y")/COUNTIF(A5:A370,"N") Might be sufficient. You can force the display of as many digits as you want by using the custom format code: # ????/???? In this case it would display up to 4 digits/ 4 digits -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Christi" wrote: I'm just now trying to learn the COUNTIF function but obviously am having a problem...
