Only show the sum of a column if there are at least 3 records in another column


I have 3 Columns of data. Column E = Duration. The user will enter a number of days (Duration) for 20 employees. Column F = Pay. List of wage for each employee. Column R = Pay Total. This is a calculated field based on the number of days (Duration) and the employees pay (Pay).

To keep my employees from finding out their coworkers pay I only want to see a sum for Column C if there are at least 3 records in Column A.

I found this Sum only if 3 From that answer I tried to use =IF(COUNTIF(E2:E15,">2"),SUM(R2:R15))

What this does is only returns records with a duration of greater than 2 days. I don't care about the number of days. I want the indicator to be that there are 3 cells populated in this column.

I think the only issue with the formula is the CountIF part. I need to know what I should use to count cells not days.

Screenshot of My Sheet

In the image above you can see that it's returning a sum bc both records are greater than 2. Like I said before I don't care what number is in the cell I just want to see the sum if there are more than 2 cells populated in that column.

Thanks for any help


Solution

  • As per my understanding of the question, I came up with this solution. Give it a try.

    =IF(COUNT($E$2:$E$15)>2,SUM($R$2:$R$15), 0)
