Default COUNTIF & AND FUNCTIONS

Thanks Craig,

Unfortunately this backwards company hasn't reached the world of Excel 12
yet. Would there be anyway of doing this sort of thing in Excel... wait for
it.... 97!!!

Cheers,

Mike

First, you should change the function. Don't use COUNTIF but COUNTIFS
(multiple ranges and criterion allowed).

Here's the format:

=COUNTIFS(A2:A209,"6400",B2:B209,"Mobile")

That way, you won't need to create any concatenated column, etc.

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the structuring of these two functions into one.

I have two columns and I'm trying to get a count where they both agree to
certain parameters.

Column A - Numerical
6400
6401
6402
etc

Column B - Text
Blackberry
Mobile
etc

So what I'm trying to do is get a count where A = 6400 AND B=Mobile for
example.

I have this at the moment, but not getting any luck!!!

=countif(and((a2:a209)="6400",(b2:b209)="Mobile"))

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Mike
