Can I Use a Count Function for Text?
Hi all,
I'm looking to do something along the same lines but using text and numbers.
The formula below is what i've come up with
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20="reason")*(D2:D20,"<0""))
I get a value of 0 or an error returning. I'm also looking to do a range
for the numbers too, so B2 to B20 for numbers greater than 0 but less than 14
and equal to reason.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks
Andy

I am trying to count a cell if criteria from two separate columns are met.
For example, my first column has the letters A, B, C, D or no letters at
all. The second column has different descriptive words (i.e. internal
medicine, psychiatrist, etc). I would like a cell to be counted if a cell
in
the first column contains an A or B or C or D AND a cell in the second
colum
contains the word "psychiatrist".
What is the best function/formula to use for this problem?

Aha... Sumproduct is not a function I ever tried
I have a column of text. Some cells contain the character "@" with a
space
preceding the rest of text in the cell. I realize the @ could be
considered
an operator so it is preceded with an apostrophe to designate text. I
want
to sum the cells that have the "@"
Thanks

You'll need to be a bit clearer as to what you're trying to do. If
COUNTIF
or SUMIF doesn't do the job, you may want to try SUMPRODUCT.

I have been trying to calculate a column of Text in order to sum
contents
by
certain criteria
I have tried Count, CoutA and CountIF and cannot be able to get
anything
to
work.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? :) Can this be done?
Thanks much.
