DCOUNT

DCOUNT(database, field, criteria)

Returns the number of numerical values in a column that satisfies multiple conditions.

database	The range of cells that make up the table or list.
field	The column name or number indicating which column to use.
criteria	The range of cells that contain the conditions.

REMARKS

* For an illustrated example refer to the Specifying Database Criteria page.
* Any cells containing text, logical values or errors are not included. See Example 7.
* This function supports wildcards (? and *).
* The "database" range of cells can be a single column. See Example 5.
* The "database" range of cells must contain column headings in the first row.
* If the "database" range refers to a cell inside a pivot table, this will refer to the data currently displayed in the pivot table.
* The "field" can be a column label, a column number (left to right) or a cell reference.
* The "field" label is not case sensitive. See Example 2.
* If "field" is left blank, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If the "field" column contains some text entries, then these are ignored.
* The "criteria" must include at least one column heading and one cell below the column heading.
* The "criteria" must be in a contiguous block of adjacent cells.
* The "criteria" can be anywhere on the active sheet, although it is recommended not to put it below the data, in case more data is added later on.
* If "criteria" is left blank, then #VALUE! is returned. See Example 18.
* Make sure the "criteria" and "database" ranges do not overlap and that they are always separated by at least one blank row or column.
* To perform an operation on an entire column in a database, enter a blank cell below the column heading in the "criteria" range. See Example 10.
* If no rows match the criteria, then #DIV/0! is returned. See Example 15.
* You can use the COUNT function to return the number of values.
* You can use the COUNTA function to include logical values, text and errors.
* You can use the DCOUNTA function to include logical values, text and errors that satisfies multiple conditions.
* This is similar to DAVERAGE, DGET, DMAX, DMIN, DPRODUCT, DSTDEV, DSUM and DVAR functions.

1 - How many "Qty" items are there when Date="Jan", using a field label.
2 - How many "Qty" items are there when Date="Jan", with the field label in uppercase.
3 - How many "Qty" items are there when Date="Jan", using a field number.
4 - How many "Cost" items are there when Date="Jan" or "Jun".
5 - How many "Qty" items are there when Qty<22. This uses a single column.
6 - How many "Qty" items are there when Qty<22 OR Qty>18.
7 - How many "Cost" items are there when Qty<22 AND Cost>20,000. The Cost for May is not included.
8 - How many "Qty" items are there when Cost>20,000.
9 - How many "Cost" items are there when Date="Jan", Qty<22 and Cost>20,000 OR when Date="Jun" and Qty>18.
10 - How many "Cost" items are there. Putting a blank cell below the column heading will refer to the entire column. All the values
11 - How many "Cost" items are there when Qty>18 and Cost has no criteria.
12 - How many "Cost" items are there for all the dates that start with the letter "J".
13 - If the "field" column does not contain any numbers, then #DIV/0! is returned.
14 - If the "criteria" you specify does not return any rows, then #DIV/0! is returned. The Cost for January was only 18,000.
15 - If the "field" does not match one of the column headings, then #VALUE! is returned.
16 - If the "criteria" only includes a column heading, then #VALUE! is returned.
17 - If the "criteria" refers to a single empty cell, then #VALUE! is returned. C19 is empty.
18 - If the "criteria" is left blank, then #VALUE! is returned.
19 - If the "database" range does not include column headings, then #VALUE! is returned.
20 - If the "database" range only includes column headings, then #VALUE! is returned.
