Pete,

Thank you for your input. This worked well.

Merry Christmas!

I put "Word" in A2 of Sheet2 and "Excel" in A3 (without the quotes),
and then these formulae in the cells stated:

B2: =SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!F$2:F$50000=A2)*NOT(ISNA((Shee t1!A$2:A
$50000))))

C2: =SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!F$2:F$50000=A2)*ISNA((Sheet1!A $2:A$50000)))

then copied B2:C2 into B3:C3 and got this:

Word 3 1
Excel 2 1

Which is what you are after, I think.

Hope this helps.

Pete

All,
I have 2 sheets. Sheet 2 has a list of Software (SW) and Sheet 1 has
multiple fields that include Name (A2 through A50000) and SW (F2 through
F50000). The Names are repeated for all the different SW they have. See
example:
A F
Joe Word
Joe Excel
Bob Word
Sue Word
Sue Excel
#N/A Word
#N/A Excel

What I'd like to do is in Sheet 2 create 2 formulas. 1 that would count the
number of times a certain SW from sheet 2 appears in sheet 1 associated with
a name. 2 would count the number of times a certain SW from sheet 2 appears
in sheet 1 associated with "#NA".

Formula 1 would return a value of 3 for Word and 2 for Excel while formula 2
would return 1 for each. I've tried several methods including Sumif,
IF(Countif) and Vlookup with And and no such luck. Any help you could
provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
