Automatically count number of payments in each payment group in Excel

I have a spreadsheet that looks something like this:



DATE      |PYMT AMT
01/01/2000|$1000
02/01/2000|$1000
....
12/01/2000|$1000
01/01/2001|$2000
02/01/2001|$2000


How can I create another table that looks like this:



Payment Count |Payment Amount  
03 |$1000
02 |$2000


COUNTIF() helps me to know the payment amounts in advance, by using this formula, =COUNTIF(B1:B300,"1000").



But what if, I don't know in advance what they will be the amount?

  • There isn't really enough information for people to be able to answer. Are you looking for formulas that calculate payment amount for number of payments? Do you already have that and you just want to format your information into a table? What does your information look like? What formula are you using?

  • Do you mean that you would like to see the Payment Amount column of your output table to list all unique values from the existing table so that instead of Hard Coding e.g. 1000 in your COUNTIF formula, you shall just refer the cell reference? Also in your formula you are entering "1000" as Text (Because it's enclosed in Double Quotes), it will not match if the $ Values are Numerics.

I'm sure that you are looking for something like this.



I'm assuming that you have data in Range A2:B6.



enter image description here



How it works:





  1. Write this Array Formula in cell A10, finish with ctrl+Shift+Enter & fill down.



    {=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$6, MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$9:A9, $B$2:$B$6), 0)),"")}



  2. Enter this Formula in cell B10 & fill down.



    =IF(A10="","No Val",(COUNTIF($B$2:$B6,A10)))




N.B.




  1. First part of above written formula =IF(A10="","No Val", will help you to generate error if you don't know values or you don't have
    values to count.


  2. Second part (COUNTIF($B$2:$B6,A10))) will count the occurrence of payments made.


Adjust cell references in the formula as you need.

      =IF(A10="","No Val",(COUNTIF($B$2:$B6,A10)))
