Count if date is Monday (or any specific day)

I see many answers on looking up days 'between' date range, but i want to count how many dates in a continuing column are "Mondays", "Tuesdays" ,etc, and turn those into percentages.

Hi JoMa2,


I tried several methods, and this is one method that works. insert another column in Table 1 (Column B in this example. You can hide this column when all is good).



Formula in Table 1: DAYNAME(A2)

Fill Down.



In the table "Count days of the week", formula in B2: COUNTIF(Table 1::B,A2)

The table "Count days of the week" has one Header Row and one Footer Row.

Formula in Footer Cell B9: SUM(B)

Formula in C2: B2÷B$9×100

Fill down.


Please reply with questions, and happy Numbering!.

Regards,

Ian.

Starting with Numbers 11.2, in addition to Ian's excellent approach, you can also use a Pivot Table. Just a few clicks and drags and you have your answer in a few seconds. No formulas!


Start by clicking your table and choosing Organize > Create Pivot Table > On Current Sheet from the menu.


Then set it up this way by dragging Fields into the Rows and Values boxes:



You click the circled i's for options:
