Count sold and remaining in Excel

by

This tutorial shows how to Count sold and remaining in Excel using the example below;

Formula

=COUNTA(range1)-COUNTA(range2)

Explanation

If you have a list of items, and need to count how many you have total, how many are sold, how remain, etc., you can use the COUNTA function. This can be useful if you are selling tickets, seats, entries, or anything where you maintain and track an inventory of items sold.

Worked Example:   Conditional formatting dates overlap in Excel

In the example, the formula in F7 is:

=COUNTA(B5:B11)-COUNTA(C5:C11)

The COUNTA function counts non-blank cells that contain numbers or text. The first COUNTA counts non-blank cells in the range B5:B11 and returns the number 7:

COUNTA(B5:B11) // returns 7

The second COUNTA function does the same with the range C5:C11 and returns 3, since there are 3 non-blank cells in that range:

COUNTA(C5:C11) // returns 3

So, the entire formula is reduced to 7 – 3 and returns 4.

Worked Example:   Count dates in given year in Excel

Note that in this case the values that appear in column C don’t matter. They could be the the codes from column B (as in the example), the word “yes”, or simply “x”.

Worked Example:   Sum columns based on adjacent criteria in Excel

Match test

If you need to make sure that the value in column C matches the value in column B, in the same row, you can use a formula based on SUMPRODUCT instead:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B5:B11=C5:C11))
