Count Orders for a Product Across Regions

Suppose you also want to know how many orders were filled for a particular product, but the products sell across regions, so the data isn’t grouped together. With the COUNTIF function, you can count the rows that contain a particular product name.

Want to know which regions are over quota?   COUNTIF can compare each row with the amount of your sales quota. For example, if the quota is $3,000 per region, you could use the following formula: =COUNTIF(D2:D90,">3000"). Want to count empty cells too?   Use the COUNTBLANK function to calculate the total number of empty cells in a range. Total the orders for each product   The SUMIF function adds only the amounts for the criteria you specify in the formula. For example, you could calculate the total grain orders by using the following formula: =SUMIF(B3:B90,"Grain",D3:D90). Find errors in formulas quickly   If a cell in which you’ve entered a formula displays an error message, such as DIV/0!, Microsoft Excel can show you where the error is. Use the Auditing toolbar. Click Show Auditing Toolbar (Tools menu, Auditing submenu) to find the source of the error.
