Default Searching for records with multiple criteria

It shows that even an expert like Bernard can hit the adjacent key on the
keypad occasionally. :-)

What does the % do instead of $?

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$100 = $G2),--($F$1:$F%100=H$1)

I added absolute refs so you could copy and edit

You could make a table with Rating type in H1 to say K1; locations in G2
down to say G10
Then use in H2
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$100 = $G2),--($F$1:$F%100=H$1))
copy across and down

It's been a while since I've used Excel and I am struggling to do a
countif
with multiple criteria. Perhaps it is the wrong function?

On the a spreadsheet, I would like to count the number of times a
specific
LOCATION receives a specific RATING.

Here is a sample of spreadsheet

Location From To Review Date Eval Type
Rating

Silverton 12-Sep-06 9/7/2007 07-SEP-07 Increment Very
Good
Silverton 9/12/2006 1/12/2007 12-JAN-07 Probationa Very
Good
College H 8/28/2007 1/28/2007 28-DEC-07 Probationa
Satisfactory
Riverview 9/12/2006 9/8/2007 08-SEP-07 Increment Very
Good
Riverview 9/12/2006 1/12/2007 12-JAN-07 Probationa
Satisfactory
Hughes 11/1/2007 01-NOV-07 BI-Annual
Satisfactory
Hughes 11/1/2006 01-NOV-06 BI-Annual
No
Rating
Jones 11/1/2004 11/1/2006 01-NOV-06 BI-Annual
Satisfactory
Carson 11/1/2004 11/1/2006 01-NOV-06 BI-Annual Satisfactory
Withrow 11/1/2004 11/1/2006 01-NOV-06 BI-Annual Satisfactory

A result would be: Number of "Very Good" at "Silverton"

or

Number of "Satisfactory" at "Carson"

Its a big spread sheet, 450 records (rows)

thanks, this should help me get my raise!
