Hi Mark

Try the below
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A10,{"text1","text2 "},0)))*(B1:B10<"text3")*(C1:C10="x"))

If this post helps click Yes

Hello,

I'm struggling with what I think requires a sumproduct function but I can't
make it work and I'm going cross eyed...

I need to count the number of occurences of "x" in column c if the value in
column a = "text1" or "text2" but column b < "text3".
