    Sumif with critera between a range

    You can use SUMPRODUCT() to avoid the helper column: =SUMPRODUCT((A24:A27>=500)*(A24:A27<600),B24:B27)

    Sumif with critera between a range

    I would suggest adding in a helper column containing: =if(and(A1>=500,A1<600),"Y","N") Then your SUMIF() would be (assuming helper column is D): =sumif(D24:D27,"Y",A24:A27)

    Highlight the Rows with Check Box

    I think any other solution would have to involve VBA (date stamping a helper cell via a cell change event would probably be the best VBA solution)

    To elabourate slightly, if you use a helper column countaining the ISERROR() formula (which returns TRUE if the cell contains an error) you can then use the COUNTIF() formula to count the cells containing TRUE.

    how to count cell that meet conditional formating

    Hi, To count based on a single condition in Excel use the COUNTIF()formula. To count based on multiple conditions use COUNTIFS() (Excel 2007 onwards). NB The formula will not count based on the fact that the cells have conditional formatting applied but based on the values within the cells...

    Comparing Data

    Hi bartman, I would use vlookup to compare the two lists. N/A# showing that the part is not in the other sheet. One way to compare the list and the quantities is to use CONCATENATE() and create a column containing the part numbers and the quantities. eg: =CONCATENATE(A6,"-",B6,"-",C6)...
