This won't work either - basically within the range D2:D123 are a range
of various outcomes of applications so there is either Awaiting
Decision, Successful and Unsuccessful - no other option. Within the
range P2:P123 is either the year either 2007 or 2008. Within the range
L2:L123 is the monetary value of the application. I want to count how
many applications have the following returns: Successful and 2007. I
will then be adapting this formula within a different cell to identify
Successful and 2008. In addition to this, I will will be running a
formula to display (in a different cell) the total amount of money for
successful applications within 2007 and 2008.

This worked within Excel 2007 using:
COUNTIFS(L2:L123,D2:D123,SUCCESSFUL,P2:P123,2007) and SUMIFS for the
monetary worth.

Does this give more information to what I need. I really appreciate
your help.

Thanks
Liz

You want

=SUMPRODUCT(--(L2:L123=SUCCESSFUL),--(P2:P123=2007))

or

=SUMPRODUCT(--(L2:L123="SUCCESSFUL"),--(P2:P123=2007))

depending on whether SUCCESSFUL is a cell or text

THIS DIDN'T WORK I'M AFRAID - IT RETURNED A RIDICULOUS NUMBER.
THERE
ARE 15 MATCHES OF 'SUCCESSFUL' AND '2007' - ANY MORE IDEAS? I'VE
LOOKED
AT THE LINKS YOU ATTACHED BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT TIES IN WITH
WHAT
I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE

or, if the word Successful is text and not a Named cell
=SUMPRODUCT(--(D2:D123="SUCCESSFUL"),--(P2:P123=2007),L2:L123)

I hope someone can help me. I devised a s/sheet in Excel 2007
using
the
COUNTIFS function. However, not all my colleagues like 2007 and
have
reverted back to 2003. I have tried to redesign the formula
using
various variations of COUNTIF but I can't get it to return the
correct
value. The formula I use in Excel 2007 is:

=COUNTIFS(L2:L123,D2:D123,SUCCESSFUL,P2:P123,2007)

Basically if the range within column D=Successful and the range
within
column P=2007, I want it to count them.

Should I be using something else i.e. SUMPRODUCT?

Urgent help much appreciated.
