Generate report of total count from drop down data list in Google Sheet

Question

I have created a Google Sheet to enter data of a hospital. One of the column is 'GENDER' where I have created drop down using data validation -> list of items and the items are (M,F) and similarly I have created another drop down value for the column 'CASES' where values are (NORMAL CORONA,DISCHARGED,DIED,ISOLATION,VENTILATOR,COMA). Health workers will input data in this sheet. I have neglected other columns. Sample columns in the sheet (first tab named 'data') are:

S.NO.|| NAME || GENDER || ADDRESS || CONTACT_NUM  || CASES ||  ADMIT_DATE ||    OCCUPATION||RELATIVES_NAME||RELATIVES_CONTACT 

Now in another tab, I have to give the aggregate report of the hospital patient. The structure of the aggregate report will be:

        NORMAL CORONA   DISCHARGED  DIED    ISOLATION   VENTILATOR  COMA
MALE
FEMALE

How can I create a report in google sheet from the drop down data list which shows total number of M/F gender count for the different CASES.

Answer 1

Try a query() with a pivot clause, like this:

=query( 
  data!A1:K, 
  "select C, count(C) 
   where F is not null 
   group by C 
   pivot F", 
  1 
)

The formula assumes that the gender is in column C and the case in column F.

Answer 2

you could simply use COUNTIFs to accomplish this.

You basically want to set up your formula to say "count this value if Column X = "Normal" AND Column Y = "Male"

It's hard to give an exact answer without seeing a sample sheet, but it would look something like this:

=countifs(A:A,"Male",B:B,"Normal")

Then repeat the formula for all of your fields (male and female).

Depending on your structure, you could use the cell references to do it quicker, but that might be a little more complicated.
