DCOUNT
Counts the cells containing numbers in a column of a Calc 'database' table, in rows which meet specified criteria.
Syntax:
DCOUNT(database_table; field; criteria_table)
where
- database_table is a range defining the data to be processed.
- field is an optional column, whose cells containing numerical values are counted if their row matches the criteria. If present, it may be a column number (1 is the first column of the database table, 2 is the second …), or a column header (enclosed in quotation marks ””), or a cell referring to a column header. If absent or 0, then the cell contents are ignored, and all rows matching the criteria are counted.
- criteria_table is a range containing criteria, to select which rows of the database_table to count.
The * Database functions overview fully describes the use of these parameters.
Example:
In this spreadsheet:
A B C D E 1 Name Grade Age Distance to School Weight 2 Andy 3 9 150 40 3 Betty 4 10 1000 4 Charles 3 10 300 5 Daniel 5 11 1200 48 6 Eva 2 8 650 33 7 Frank 2 7 300 8 Greta 1 7 200 36 9 Harry 3 9 1200 44 10 Irene 2 8 1000 42 11 12 13 Name Grade Age Distance to School Weight 14 2
DCOUNT(A1:E10; 0; A13:E14)- returns the number of children who are in the second grade (3).
DCOUNT(A1:E10; 5; A13:E14)
- returns the number of children in the second grade whose weight has been measured (2). Frank is not included, because his weight is blank (not a number).
DCOUNT(A1:E10; E1; A13:E14)
- also returns the number of children in the second grade whose weight has been measured (2).
