I have the following columns of data: Pool Amount|Calculated Payment| 10% | 15% |

  • 0

I have the following columns of data:

Pool Amount|Calculated Payment| 10% | 15% | 20% | 30% | 40% | 50%

Pool Amount and Calculated Payment are static currency fields, the percentage fields all contain variations on this formula:

e.g. C2 =IF(B2<(A2*0.9),A2*0.9,IF(B2>(A2*1.1),A2*1.1,B2))

The formula caps the calculated payment at the thresholds determined by the relevant % in relation to the Pool Amount. What I want to do is a count for each % field showing the number at the minimum and maximum.

For one cell in the 10% field I would use:

Min =COUNTIF(C2,A2*0.9) and Max =COUNTIF(C2,A2*1.1)

I could then produce two columns of 0s and 1s and SUM them but it seems a bit clunky. Is there a variation on the following formula that I could use:

=COUNTIF(C2:C1162, A2:A1162*0.9) to show a total count in one cell?

Is this potentially a job for a pivot table with a custom function?

    COUNTIF can’t be used to compare each element of one range/array against each element of another but you can use SUMPRODUCT to do that and avoid formulas that require “array entry”, i.e. this formula to count the Mins in the 10% field

    =SUMPRODUCT((B2:B1162< A2:A1162*0.9)+0)

    and for Maxs

    =SUMPRODUCT((B2:B1162> A2:A1162*1.1)+0)

    Those formulas just use the condition from your original formula applied to ranges rather than single cells. SUM can be used in place of SUMPRODUCT but then you do need CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
