    Populating table from drop down list

    I would like to populate Sheet1 with info from the drop down lists in Sheet2. When an Incident is selected on a drop list in Sheet2, I need it to enter the total number of occurrences under the proper date and Incident in Sheet1. Please see example.

    Any suggestions are very appreciated, Thanks!

    Re: Populating table from drop down list

    Try the formula below in B3, then fill it down and right:

    =COUNTIFS(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$18,B$2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$18,$A3)+COUNTIFS(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$18,B$2,Sheet2!$C$2:$C$18,$A3)+COUNTIFS(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$18,B$2,Sheet2!$D$2:$D$18,$A3)+COUNTIFS(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$18,B$2,Sheet2!$E$2:$E$18,$A3)

    Note that it's designed based on what you have, so if you plan to go beyond row 18 on sheet2 with your dates, change all of the $18s in the formula to something bigger (be sure to change them all to the SAME bigger number, though).
