The table in B3:F11 is a log of course data where dates in columns D:F indicate course completion. The summary table in H3:K5 summarizes course completion by group instead of user. In this example, group represents the additional criteria. For Course A, completion by group is calculated with COUNTIFS like this: The first range/criteria pair counts only data from the red group by using the group value in H4. The second range/criteria pair counts non-blank entries in column D. The result is a count of all Course A completions for the Red group, 3 in this case. To generate a total count of people in group Red, in order to calculate percent complete, another COUNTIFS is used: The range/criteria pair counts total users in the red group by using the group value in H4, returning 3 in this case. The result from the first COUNTIFS is divided by the result from the second COUNTIFS, and formatted with the Percentage number format to show percent complete.
