Hi Darrell

i'm going to assume you meant, count the number in column A of sheet1 as
long as the value in column C of sheet 1 is not blank
formula on Sheet2 is (where the value you're looking up is in cell A2)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100=A2),--(Sheet1!$C$1:$C$100<""))

for details on the sumproduct function

Hello,
I hope I can explaine this well enough. I am using two worksheets.
Worksheet 1 is an imported file, worksheet 2 is where all my
calculations are getting done. Sheet 1 column A and column C are the
only two columns I need to look at. Sheet 2 has the values of what I am
looking for in sheet 1. All data is also alpha characters. No numbers.

I need a formual to:

find the value from sheet 2. The value will be repeated several times
on sheet 1. When finding value, count cell in column A as long as long
as it is not blank.

Thanks for any help you can give.
