    Unhappy COUNTIF for Re-order Tracking

    Are there any excel experts out there that can educate me on the COUNTIF function?

    Here is what we are trying to achieve:

    Count the number of re-orders of one particular product.

    When I export the report from Quickbooks, Column A lists all customers who have ordered that product. Column B lists the invoice number. Column C lists the name of the product which in the attached report is always going to be The Connectors.

    I need to find out how many times each individual customer (listed in Column A) has re-ordered The Connectors listed in Column C.

    How do I do this?

    Hello,

    there's a little work involved in creating a proper data table from this report.

    select columns A to G in Sheet1
    change the Format to "General" (all cells are currently formatted as text, which we need to change to use formulas)
    select column A
    hit F5 - click special - tick "Blanks" and hit enter
    hit enter once to move the active cell to row 3 while keeping all the other cells selected
    enter a = sign, hit the up arrow
    hold down CTRL and hit enter

    Now the previously blank cells in column A hold the company name.

    Delete the error message in A1 and enter a title, like Customer.

    Now you can create a pivot table. Pull the customer field into the rows and the item into the columns area and into the data area. Set the field to perform a count. Filter the item to show only The Connectors

    see attached.
