Put the 17 names in a contigeous range like G1:W1 coing across, then you can
use

=SUMPRODUCT((C4:C115="aircard")*(B4:B115=G1:W1))

or hardcoded

=SUMPRODUCT((C4:C115="aircard")*(B4:B115={"name1", "name2","name3","name4","name5","name6","name7 ",
"name8","name9","name10","name11","name12","name13 ","name14","name15","name16","name17"}))

I don't think you could call me a beginner with Escal, but I am
certainly not an advanced user either.

I have a tracker that I need to encorporate an OR structure to, and it
is not working.

In a nut shell, C4:C115 give a drop downlist with several options, one
of them being "Aircard". B4:B115 also gives a drop down list with 30
possible selction of names. What I need is an OR structure that will
count how many times "Aircard" is selected in cells C4:C115, but only
if the name in the corosponding cell is one of 17 names, out of the
possible 30.

I can get it to work comparing against one name, but not against
multiple. My boss is breathing down my neck to have this tracked done
yesterday.

PLEASE HELP!!!


:)
