Is it possible that the 4 in your data is formatted as text? If so, format
the numbers as numbers, not text.

Hi,

It still gives me a count of zero. I've input the formula exactly as
written, yet nothing. I'm at a loss... Columns are right, range is
right...I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Here's the formula I'm using again. I don't see any errors...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$4="A"),--($B$1:$B$4=4))

You need to fix your parentheses:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1$A$1:$A$4="A"),--($B$1:$B$4=4))

Hi,

Thanx. I had the () at the right spot. My post was a typo....!! In any
case, I'm still not getting a proper count. I should have mentionned that
the values I'm counting are in another worksheet. Here's what I have:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1$A$1:$A$4="A"),--($B$1:$B$4=4)

Does this make any sense?

Watch your ()'s:

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$4="A"),--($B$1:$B$4=4))

If this doesn't help, look for leading or trailing spaces in the values in
column A. And see if the values in column B are really numbers. You can use
=isnumber(b4) to see true/false.

Hi,

I am trying to create a formula to count information located in two separate
columns but appear in the same row. For example:

Column A Column B
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4

What I'm trying to do is count every instance that "A" appears in the same
row as "4" at any given time. The current formula I'm working with is
=SUMPRODUCT(--$A$1:$A$4="A"),--($B$1:$B$4=4))

However, something must be wrong because I keep getting a count of 0 even
though I'm reference the right column and range.

Hope anyone can help!
