FCOUNT_G

For reliability growth data analysis only.

Description: For RGA multiple system data types, this returns the total number of modes or failures across all systems.

What's Changed? In RGA Version 2019 and earlier, this was the FCOUNT function. Starting in Version 2020 that function is used only for life data and life-stress data folios.

Syntax: FCOUNT_G(Data_Src, Type)

• Data_Src is the source data sheet from which the value is taken.

• Type allows you to select the mode or failure type to count. It is shown in the function as a numerical value that indicates the selected type: All modes = 0, A Modes = 1, BC Modes = 2, BD Modes = 3. P Failures = 4 and Q Failures = 5.

Remarks:

• The Data_Src can be one of the following values:

  • A default data source selected from the Data Source Index drop-down list.

  • A data sheet name (e.g., "Weibull!Folio1!Data1").

  • A variable name defined in the Defined Names window (e.g., datasource).

Example:

• FCOUNT_G("RGA!Folio1!Data1",0)
