Default count using multiple criteria including text strings

Not sure what the problem is. Make sure that you are not referencing the whole
column (named or not) and that all ranges are the same size.

Ok...so i highlighted the whole column and renamed the columns as a range and
inserted those titles in place of the whole column reference as follows:

=SUMPRODUCT((JobTitle="Sr. Marketing Mgr.")*(Location="Redmond,
Wa")*(CandidateName<""))

still getting the num error.

i even tried just searching on about 20 rows in each column and am still
getting the error.

If you are using a version of Excel prior to 2007, I don't think you can
reference the whole columns.

am receiving a #NUM! error...what am i doing wrong?

=SUMPRODUCT((B:B="Sr. Marketing Mgr.")*(C:C="Redmond,

I think the assumption was that you would have named ranges for "Job_Title",
"Location" and "Candidate". If not, replace those terms in the formula with the
actual ranges of the appropriate data.

i have a spreadsheet where column b contains the title of the position,
column c contains the location and column d contains the name of the
candidate.

i need to count the number of candidates based on job title and
location...each candidate has a unique name so i'm not sure how to make this
happen.

Staffing Mgr. Job Title Location Candidate

Clare Duffin Sr. Marketing Mgr. Redmond, Wa Jesse Money
Clare Duffin Sr. Marketing Mgr. Redmond, Wa Frank Kemery
Clare Duffin Sr. Marketing Mgr. Redmond, Wa Chuck Mildes
Clare Duffin Sr. Marketing Mgr. Redmond, Wa Kathleen Strom

Sr. Marketing Mgr. Total
Clare Duffin Sr. Content Mgr. Redmond, Wa Daniel Nolta
Clare Duffin Sr. Content Mgr. Redmond, Wa Eric Neuman
Clare Duffin Sr. Content Mgr. Redmond, Wa Jenni Grant
Sr. Content Mgr. Total

Is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help.
