Countif in Different Sheets and Spreadsheets

Question:

( by Alexandru Danciu )

 I have to count the YES elements from various spreadsheets, say A, B, C, D, E, into a TOTAL spreadsheet. 

Each spreadsheet has per column values for Yes or NO. For example, spreadsheet A has Yes and NO answers from C2 to C50.

In excel it works perfectly with COUNTIFS, however gdocs gives me a bit of a headache. Please help :)

Thank you so much,

 Solution:

To count "Yes" in various sheets (tabs) in same Spreadsheet use the following formula:

=countif('Sheet1'!C2:C50;"Yes")+countif('Sheet2'!C2:C50;"Yes")+countif('Sheet3'!C2:C50;"Yes")


=================


To count "Yes" in various Spreadsheets you will need to use function ImportRange.

Try the following formula:

=countif(ImportRange("0AmMTqpzD9YRndE81QjNTcDItUnBqbHFSNWdxLXBNU1E";"Sheet1!C2:C50");"Yes") + countif(ImportRange("0AmMTqpzD9YRndHprbmpCajRJbzQtZzdVZmEyM0JTV3c";"Sheet1!C2:C50");"Yes")


Replace: "0AmMTqpzD9YRndE81QjNTcDItUnBqbHFSNWdxLXBNU1E" and "0AmMTqpzD9YRndHprbmpCajRJbzQtZzdVZmEyM0JTV3c" with your spreadsheet keys that you can find in the URL of your Spreadsheet.

And replace "Sheet1!C2:C50" with the sheet name and range of which you want to count the criteria "Yes".


I hope the above solution will help you, and if you need more help then please do comment below on this blog itself, I will try to help you out.

    Hi
    Following on from the COUNTIF answer, I am trying to apply it to a COUNTIFS formula but seem to be getting an error

    =countifs(ImportRange("0AmMTqpzD9YRndE81QjNTcDItUnBqbHFSNWdxLXBNU1E";"Sheet1!C2:C50");"1"),(ImportRange("0AmMTqpzD9YRndE81QjNTcDItUnBqbHFSNWdxLXBNU1E";"Sheet1!D2:D50");"ART")

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Niki

    You are missing another countif function.

    =countifs(ImportRange("0AmMTqpzD9YRndE81QjNTcDItUnBqbHFSNWdxLXBNU1E";"Sheet1!C2:C50");"1"),+countifs(ImportRange("0AmMTqpzD9YRndE81QjNTcDItUnBqbHFSNWdxLXBNU1E";"Sheet1!D2:D50");"ART")

    Try this

    Try ImportRange first it will ask you permission after that it will work fine

    How to count value from other outside Spreadsheets??
    Wait...I am breaking down the problem.
    There is a google sheet named (RM 20.08.2020 Responses) where I collect responses according to reg. no of every student in my class.
    And now I want a student who has (reg. no. 20177310-02) in the (responses) sheet get a value of 1 marks in another google (attendance counter) sheet according to her reg.no.
    The other sheet is here. Link Below.
    Please find me a solution based on COUNTIF and ImportRange. Just find me the formula which works. I will copy-paste them to other cells.
    I have also given the link of these 2 sheets for your ease.
    Many Many Thanks in advance...
