Default Using COUNTIF for multiple text data creating a logic statment

Okay, try this variation of the formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(TRIM('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!J4:J65536),
7)="Johnson"),--(LEFT(TRIM('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!H4:H65536),
5)="North"))

Note the double minus sign before each term. This should give a count
of where the first part of the doctor's name begins with Johnson and
the first part of the clinic begins with North, even if you have
spaces in front of them.

Hope this helps.

KK, tried that and it didn't really give me any total numbers seen? *not sure
how to better explain it then what I have included?

You only need the $ symbols if you are going to copy the formula down
- the ! is used to indicate a sheet name, which you need in this case.
However, you seem to be trying to use an asterisk as a wildcard, and
that won't work in this case - try it like this:


=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!
J4:J65536,7)="Johnson")*(LEFT('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!
H4:H65536,5)="North"))


Do you really need to use almost a complete column?


It would be better to put Johnson and North in other cells on the same
sheet and refer to those cells in the formula.


Hope this helps.

I read your post:


Assume that your main data is in column A to C, starting on row 2. Use
cells D1, E1 and F1 to enable you to specify the doctor's name, the
county and the gender respectively, and then put this formula in G1:


=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$1000=D1)*($B$2:$B$1000=E1)*($ C$2:$C$1000=F1))


Just change the values in D1, E1 and F1 to get a different result. You
can also copy the formula down to count values in D2:F2 etc.


But I forgot to mention that the information is on one sheet and the totals
are on another sheet. *Also, I am fairly new to this, so I am not sure if I
am doing this correctly, so here is what I put in:


=SUMPRODUCT(('Monthly USAGE REPORT'!J4:J65536="Johnson*")*('Monthly USAGE
REPORT'!H4:H65536="North*"))


But I did not get the expected results. *I used the high lite option when
picking the cells and the program automatically gave me the ! instead of the
$ that you had listed?


To setup the scenario, I have 10 doctors from 15 clinics being tracked on one
spreadsheet. *There are three columns I want to count from: Doctor, Clinic,
Gender. I would like to create logic statement to count the total number of
patients a specific doctor sees in relation to a specific clinic.. *Also how
many patients he sees from a region such as the northern clinics (let's say
clinic A,B,C all designated within the "Clinic" column) and how many of the
total people he sees are from his own clinic. *


Relating to gender, I would like to count how many of each gender were seen
at each clinic and how many of each gender were seen for a region.
