If you're wanting to do it with simple functions.. What I'd do is add a column to the tracking sheet in which you "concatenate" the serial number and activity.
Like: Cell G1: =C1&F1 and copy down. Then, in the summary sheet, you can use: =COUNTIF(Tracking!G:G,A1&B1) Paul ----------------------------------------- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley ----------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: JMac <jsvi...@gmail.com> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Thu, December 6, 2012 1:11:58 PM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Formula to Count Specific Words I've got a tracking sheet with 6 columns, each row being an entry for equipment maintenance. Column C contains the serial number of the equipment. On a separate sheet I have a summary, by serial number, that I want to calculate the total number of times a particular entry is made on the tracking sheet.
