[Programming Help] - Permanent/ Static Counter on Spreadsheet

View Count: 250

I want to create counter on spreadsheet column that counts
every time the other column contains the value "2"

for example I use

column P and Q.

IF(Q3=2,COUNT(1),0).

My goal is to count how many times column Q had the value "2".

For example

first time - Q3=2 -> Count 1 - P3=1
second time - Q3=2 -> Count 1 - P3=2
third time - Q3=2 -> Count 1 - P3=3
etc

And I always want the see the last count on column P, in this example P3=3.


the issue is that it works as long as the values are in the 1000 rows range,
when they disappear all the counting is being reset.

how can I resolve this issue ?

Try this:
=IF(Q3=2,P4+1,P4)

Try this:
=IF(Q3=2,P4+1,P4)

It works as long as Q3=2, as soon as Q3=0 then it resets the counting.

My goal is to have unique counts even when the data is no longer available in the spreadsheet.

the color bar study, has counter that works like this.

as a metaphor, I want to have a counter that tell me how many 3 points were in a quarter,

in a basketball game, even though the quarter was already ended.

That's not what I'm seeing.

Try this:
Put this in e.g. S3:
=IF(S4=10,0,S4+1)
This will count from 0 to 10, and repeat.

P3:
=IF(S3=2,P4+1,P4)
This will increment the count by 1 each time there is a 2 in column S, and make it persistent until the next 2.

it works as long as the numbers are in the spreadsheet,
there are 1000 rows in my spreadsheet, once the number "2" is getting out
of the spreadsheet, the counter resets.

I need counter in other cell that has "memory", that can save the counting even though
the numbers are no longer there.

For example

first time - Q3=2 -> Count 1
second time - Q3=2 -> Count 2
third time - Q3=2 -> Count 3
etc

It's generally not possible to 'save' a value that occurred prior to existing spreadsheet rows.

A cell in row 1003 can reference another cell within the 1000 Number of Rows setting, if that could be utilized in your setup.

You can lock a cell TRUE, if that could be utilized in your setup.
