Excel - Using COUNTIF/COUNTIFS across multiple sheets/same column

Question

I am trying to \"COUNT\" the number of a certain object in column I (in this instance) across multiple sheets. That value in column I is the result of a formula (if it matte

Answer 1

I am trying to avoid using VBA. But if has to be, then it has to be:)

There is quite simple UDF for you:

Function myCountIf(rng As Range, criteria) As Long
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        myCountIf = myCountIf + WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws.Range(rng.Address), criteria)
    Next ws
End Function

and call it like this: =myCountIf(I:I,A13)

---

P.S. if you'd like to exclude some sheets, you can add If statement:

Function myCountIf(rng As Range, criteria) As Long
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.name <> "Sheet1" And ws.name <> "Sheet2" Then
            myCountIf = myCountIf + WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws.Range(rng.Address), criteria)
        End If
    Next ws
End Function

UPD:

I have four "reference" sheets that I need to exclude from being scanned/searched. They are currently the last four in the workbook

Function myCountIf(rng As Range, criteria) As Long
    Dim i As Integer

    For i = 1 To ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count - 4
        myCountIf = myCountIf + WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Range(rng.Address), criteria)
    Next i
End Function
