Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Need a count formula for calc
To: Robert Peirce <[email protected]>
The following works for 10000 rows or less.
{=SUM(IF(A1:A10000>B1:B10000;1;0))}
{=SUM(IF(A1:A10000=B1:B10000;1;0))-SUM(IF(A1:A10000="";1;0))}
{=SUM(IF(A1:A10000<B1:B10000;1;0))}
The exception is if there are rows where the A value is empty and the B
value is not.
For some reason, this didn't work:
{=SUM(IF(A1:A10000=B1:B10000;1;0))-SUM(IF(OR(A1:A10000="";B1:B10000="");1;0))}
I'll see if I can improve this a bit more. Not good enough yet, I think…
