Hi,
I assume your product is in column B and the product name is XX

=countif(B1:B100,"XX")

Change range and product name to fit your needs

you can have as well the product you want to count entered in a cell
let's
say C1 in that case you can replace the above formula with

=countif(B1:B100,C1)

if this helps please click yes thanks

Hi!

I have area numbers in column A and the number of produkts ordered in
column B

I want to count the number of entries in a particular area bearing in
mind I
just want to see the number of entries rather than sum them up like
SUMIF. Is
there a convenient formula which would allow me to do this?

Thanks for any help
