two-dimensional frequency question
Hi,
In 2007 you can use
=COUNTIFS(A1:A11,"A C",A2:A12,"B D")

i have another peculiar question. Say you have the following data:
A C
B D
B D
B E
A C
B E
A E
B D
B E
A C
B D
and you want to count how many times an "A C" is followed by a "B D," and
how many. So, output for the above would be:
1: 1
2: 1
i think the way to do it would be to sum over a frequency, but i can't
figure out how to set the bin array the way i need it. the bins would have
to start at "A C" and reset after any "A <C"
thoughts? maybe a way to do it that way or a better way entirely?
