Default Counting using multiple criteria


try:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B2="Jul"),--(C1:C2="2006"),--(D1:D2="Complete"))

Column A is treated as TEXT?....how is it formatted?

Thanks for the help/information... It worked like a charm!!! However
(...here comes the rub...) when I try to use the SUMPRODUCT formula using
data that has been extracted from other fields, it does not seem to work.

Example:

A B C D
11 Jan 2006 Jan 2006 Complete
12 Jan 2006 Jan 2006 Complete

Column B was created using the formula:
=IF(LEN(A1)=11, MID(A1,4,3), MID(A1,5,3))

Column C was created using the formula:
=RIGHT(A2,4)

When I use the following SUMPRODUCT formula,
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B2="Jul"),--(C1:C2=2006),--(D1:D2="Complete"))

I get a result of 0, it should be 2.

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks Again

See Bob's reply:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="Jan"),--(B2:B100=2006),--(C2:C100="Complete"))

Assumes "Jan" is TEXT not date format

Let me be a bit more specific.

A spreadsheet contains the following data:

A B C
Jan 2006 Complete
Jan 2006 Complete
Feb 2006 Hold
Dec 2006 In Progress
.
.
.
Jan 2007 Complete
Jan 2007 Hold

I would like a count (for example): of the number Complete in Jan of 2006.
(i.e., if month (col A) is Jan and year (Col B) is 2006 and status (Col C) is
complete then increment a counter - like ANDing 3 countif functions [i.e.,
countif(a2:a50,"Jan") and countif(b2:b50, "2006") and
countif(c2:c50,"Complete")].

I hope this example bettter expreses the function I am trying to perform.

Thanks In Advance - Again
