COUNT NUMBER OF ROWS

[Guest]

Each account number should be scheduled a various number of times per week.
Column A = Account Number;
Column B = Times/wk they SHOULD be scheduled

Each row represents a scheduled service, i.e. if they are ACTUALLY scheduled
2x per week, there should be two rows.
Driver numbers are also in the other columns as well.

How can I quickly identify services that are not scheduled for the
appropriate number of services, i.e. the number of rows for each particular
account is not equal to Column B?

=sumproduct(--(A1:A100<>B1:B100)

perhaps?

One way would be to use Format | Conditional Formatting in column B
Assuming you are in row 2, select cell B2 and then start conditional
formatting. Instead of "Value Is", choose "Formula Is" and enter this
=COUNTIF(A:A,A2)<B2

then choose the format you want when the number of entries in column A that
are same as entry on current row (2) are less than the number in column B of
the row.

You could even set up a second condition the same way like
=COUNTIF(A:A,A2)>B2
and set up formatting to show you when you're checking on a client TOO often.
