    Thanks

  4. Frank Tonsen says:

    With Excel 2013 the pivot table could be connected to the data model which provides a distinct count.

  5. Mak says:

    This will do for invoice count
    =COUNTIF(F:F,H12)
    Instead of
    =COUNTIFS(sales[SELLER],$H12)

    Excellent document. How did you make the last graphic? Witch app. Thanks for answer.

  7. Chris says:

    Can someone tell me what =countif(sales[date],sales[date]) is counting? The value is 19. Its found in the =SUMPRODUCT(IF(sales[SELLER]=H12,1/COUNTIFS(sales[SELLER],H12,sales[date],sales[date]),0))

    • Vândalo says:

      Hi Chris,

      =countif(sales [date],sales[date]) function is counting the unique dates in the table.

  8. Nguyen says:

    Excellent document!

    Can you explain more about the calculation on Weighted consistency? More specific the small number is 0,00001 ?

    How come the number should be smaller if there is more sellers?

  9. TS says:

    Hi,

    Not understood this formula: {=SUMPRODUCT(IF(sales[SELLER]=H12,1/COUNTIFS(sales[SELLER],H12,sales[date],sales[date]),0))}

    Please explain.

    Thanks.
