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 an optional column, whose cells containing numerical values are counted if their row matches the criteria. If present, 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. If absent or 0, then the cell contents are ignored, and all rows matching the criteria are counted.
- 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.
