Help

That works, thanks.

Is it possible to seperate the columns K-O as each refers to different list
of numbers?
i.e the number in K looks at the cells B5:B10, L looks at C5:C10 up to O -
F5:F10
I have tried this..
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(5,K81:O81,0)),SUMPRODUCT(--($B$5:$F$10=I92)),"")
but if 5 appears in say K its looks at the whole range B5:F10 when all i
want it to do is look at B5:B10, similarly if its in L it looks through the
whole range when i want it to look at C5:C10..
What i am trying to say is i want your formula,
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(5,K81:O81,0)),SUMPRODUCT(--($B$5:$F$10=I92)),""), to
somehow be 5 formulae in 1 cell.
Tricky ? Too much work? or impossible?
Thanks again

I think Aladin meant...

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(5,K81:O81,0)),COUNTIF(INDEX($B$5:$F$10,0,MATCH(5,K81:O
81,0)),I92),"")

Hope this helps!

If you copied and pasted the formula into your spreadsheet, make sure
you don't have a line return or additional spaces inserted in the
formula.

Thanks very much, line return found. Didnt think of that one !

Is ISNUMBER(MATCH(5,K81:O81,0)) really more efficient than
COUNTIF(K81:O81,5)?

With ca 20,000 cells in MainList, I could have figured that
ISNUMBER(MATCH()) would be quicker, but how about for the 5-cell range
K81:O81? Context matters.

Generalization (as human mind is disposed to) also matters. An idiom
gets adopted across all contexts very easily. And yes, IsNumber|Match
over such small ranges is still as good as CountIf and has better
volatility score.
