If >0, count various codes in a range on another sheet

I have this formula in N37 =SUM(G37:M37)/5
If the above result is >0, I want to count the number of times a specific
code(PQ) is in a specific range on another worksheet, and in cell N38, I'd
like the result to be, if PQ occurs 2 times in that range, 2 PQ. And if not
0, then nothing.
Click to expand...

Something like. If N37>0, countif(data!A1:A7*PQ*,"")
So the result in the sample would be 2 PQ
A
s
s
pq
pq
s
s
s

Thanks

Try this formula in N38:
=IF(AND(N37>0,COUNTIF(range,"PQ")=2),"2 PQ","")
replace the word range with the actual range on the other sheet you'll be
looking for PQ in. I've assumed PQ will be on its own in the cells where it
exists.

If you wanted to do the whol elot in cell N37:
=IF(AND(SUM(G37:M37)/5>0,COUNTIF(range,"PQ")=2),"2 PQ","")

I can't get it to work. One thing I see that I may not have been clear on, is
that the formula appears to be using 2 as an absolute. What I meant to
indicate is that the number of times the PQ is in the specific range may be
1,2, 3 any number of times. So I want to count how many times it's in the
range. Such as -
1 PQ, or 2 PQ, or 3 PQ, etc.

Thanks again,
 
Try:
=IF(AND(N37>0,COUNTIF(range,"PQ")>0),COUNTIF(range,"PQ")&"PQ","")

or you can use a variant of what Bob entered with what is above if it still
doesn't work.

This one worked to give me the # of PQ's. Thanks,

But I tried to add to it &text to get the # of PQ's & the text PQ, but I
couldn't figure it out.

I'd like the result to be 1 PQ

Thanks again,

Steve
 
=IF(N37>0,COUNTIF(data!A1:A7,"*PQ*"),"") & " PQ"

Or simply custom format to 0 " PQ"
