Count cells with values in even columns
This tutorial shows how to count cells with values in even columns through the use of an Excel formula or VBA
Example: Count cells with values in even columns
|
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(C5:I5),2)=0),--(C5:I5<>""))
|
This formula uses the Excel COLUMN and MOD functions to return the remainder of 0 for a cell in an even columns and 1 for a cell in an odd column. The Excel SUMPRODUCT function then performs this calculation for every cell in the specified range (C5:I5) that contains a value and returns the number of occurrences, which includes two even values (5 and 24 from cells F5 and H5, respectively), and sums these occurrences. Therefore, the formula will return a value of two given there are two cells in even columns, within the selected range, that contain values.

Sub Count_cells_with_values_in_even_columns()
'declare a variable
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Analysis")
'count cells with values in even columns
ws.Range("K5").Formula = "=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(C5:I5),2)=0),--(C5:I5<>""))"
ws.Range("K5").Formula = "=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(C5:I5),2)=0),--(C5:I5<>""))"
End Sub
ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS
Output Range: Select the output range by changing the cell reference ("D5") in the VBA code.
Data Range: Select the values that you want to test and count by changing the range ("C5:I5")in the VBA code.
Worksheet Selection: Select the worksheet in which you want to count the cells with values in even columns by changing the Analysis worksheet name in the VBA code. You can also change the name of this object variable, by changing the name 'ws' in the VBA code.
