DCOUNT(database, field, criteria)
- Where 'database' is the range of cells that makes up the list or database
- 'field' shows which column is used in the function and
- 'criteria' is the range of cells that contains the specified criteria.
- DCOUNT() counts the numbers in the column of a list or database that match the specified criteria.
Description
DCOUNT(database, field, criteria)
It counts the cells that contain numbers in a listed column or database that match the specified condition.
- The argument 'field' is optional. If not mentioned, the function counts all the numbers from database that match the criteria.
- A 'column name' in quotes (e.g. "Salary") or 'column number' (e.g. 3, if Salary is 3rd column) can be used as 'field' argument.
- Criteria can be any range on the 'Calci' with minimum of one column and at least one row indicating the condition.
- The Criteria columns should not overlap the list of data.
- DCOUNTA() can be used to count the number of non-blank cells from a list of database that match a specified criteria.
