Hi Sergio,

2 specification.

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$7="X")*($B$2:$B$7=C2))

Hi, I have the following table:

Area Person Members
X Jack Jack
Y Mary Peter
Z Jack
X Peter
X Mary
Z Mary

I want to count the number of Persons who are Members and have entries in
Area X. So in the example above it should return 2 (Jack and Peter have X
entries and are Members but Mary is not a member though she has X entry).

How to do this in Excel?
