DCOUNT function

PRO BASIC

The DCOUNT function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a handy tool that lets you count the number of cells in a database that fulfill certain conditions you set. It allows you to query your data and return a numeric count of entries that meet specified conditions. You specify the criteria, and DCOUNT will go through your database and count only those cells that match your requirements. This function is particularly useful for analyzing and summarizing large amounts of data efficiently.

Documentation

Counts the number of cells in a database that meet specified criteria.

Syntax

DCOUNT(database, field, criteria)

Parameter	Description
`database`	The range of cells that makes up the database, including the headers.
`field`	The column header indicating the field to be counted.
`criteria`	The range of cells that contains the criteria. Each column in the criteria range should contain a separate criterion and the first row should contain the column headers that match the database headers.

Behavior

The DCOUNT function in Jspreadsheet is used to count the number of numeric entries in a database column based on given conditions. Here are some of its behaviors:

It requires three arguments: a database range, a field which is the column within the database range to be counted, and the criteria range which contains the conditions to be met.
It only counts cells with numeric values. Any cell with text, boolean values, or errors will be ignored.
Empty cells within the specified field or column are not included in the count.
The first row of the database range is treated as a header row and not included in the count.
The criteria range should include at least one column label and at least one cell below the column label for specifying condition.
If multiple conditions are given, a cell is only counted if it meets all the conditions.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error is returned when the given field is neither a valid cell reference nor a column header in the database range.
#REF!	This error is returned when the database range or criteria range is invalid.

Best Practices

When specifying the field to be counted, it is often clearer to use the column header name from the database range rather than the column's index number.

Ensure that your criteria range is set up correctly, with column labels that match those in the database range and condition cells directly below the labels.

Avoid including non-numeric cells in the field to be counted as they will be ignored by the DCOUNT function.

To count cells with specific text or boolean values, consider using the DCOUNTA function instead.

Usage

A few examples using the DCOUNT function.

DCOUNT(A1:D10, "Sales", A12:B13) ➝ 3  
// Counts numeric values in column "Sales" within A1:D10 that match criteria in A12:B13

DCOUNT(A1:E20, "Units Sold", A23:D24) ➝ 5  
// Applies multi-column criteria across columns A–D to count matching rows in "Units Sold"

DCOUNT(SalesData, "Revenue", Criteria) ➝ 7  
// Using named ranges: Counts numeric values in "Revenue" column where criteria are met
