DCOUNT
Counts the cells containing numbers in a column of a Calc 'database' table, in rows which meet specified criteria.
Syntax:
DCOUNT(database_table; field; criteria_table)
where
- database_table is a range defining the data to be processed.
- field is the column to count. It may be a column number (1 is the first column of the database table, 2 is the second ...), or a column header (enclosed in quotation marks ””), or a cell referring to a column header, or 0 to include all columns.
- criteria_table is a range containing criteria, to select which rows of the database_table to count.
The Database functions overview fully describes the use of these parameters.
Example:
In this spreadsheet:
A | B | C | D | E | |
1 | Name | Grade | Age | Distance to School | Weight |
2 | Andy | 3 | 9 | 150 | 40 |
3 | Betty | 4 | 10 | 1000 | |
4 | Charles | 3 | 10 | 300 | |
5 | Daniel | 5 | 11 | 1200 | 48 |
6 | Eva | 2 | 8 | 650 | 33 |
7 | Frank | 2 | 7 | 300 | |
8 | Greta | 1 | 7 | 200 | 36 |
9 | Harry | 3 | 9 | 1200 | 44 |
10 | Irene | 2 | 8 | 1000 | 42 |

13 | Name | Grade | Age | Distance to School | Weight |
14 | 2 |
DCOUNT(A1:E10; 0; A13:E14)
- returns the number of children who are in the second grade (3).
DCOUNT(A1:E10; 5; A13:E14)
- returns the number of children in the second grade whose weight has been measured (2). Frank is not included, because his weight is blank (not a number).
DCOUNT(A1:E10; E1; A13:E14)
- also returns the number of children in the second grade whose weight has been measured (2).
