The DCOUNT function with examples in Excel

The DCOUNT function in Excel allows you to count the total cells that contain a number in a column based on specific conditions. Let’s dive into some examples:

1. Using DCOUNT with One Condition:

   • Suppose we have a dataset with information about basketball players, including columns for “Rebounds” and “Team.”
   • To count the number of cells with numbers in the “Rebounds” column where the value in the “Team” column is “Mavs,” use this formula:

     =DCOUNT(A5:D16, "Rebounds", A2:D3)
     

   • This returns a value of 3, indicating there are 3 cells meeting the condition.

2. Using DCOUNT with Multiple Conditions:

   • Let’s count the cells with numbers in the “Rebounds” column where the following conditions are met:
     • Value in “Team” column is “Mavs.”
     • Value in “Points” column is greater than 18.
     • Value in “Assists” column is greater than 5.
   • Use this formula:

     =DCOUNT(A5:D16, "Rebounds", A2:D3)
     

   • The result is 2, satisfying all three specified conditions.

Feel free to adapt these formulas to your specific dataset!
