Thanks to Biff for the last response.

One more for the group: Can I reference the "=", "<",
or "" etc sign in a SUMPRODUCT function of the following
form:

"=SUMPRODUCT((Range1=Criteria1)*(Range2Criteria2) *
(Range3<Criteria3)"

I can use an indirect to reference the range, and direct
references to the criteria. In countif and sumif functions
I can direct reference "=", "<", or "" etc signs but
can't seem to get it right for this sumproduct function.

If you have a way, please check out the min, max and mode
formulae below for the same question.

Thanks

Hi!

All are array formulas, enter with the key combo of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=MODE(IF(A1:A10="x",IF(B1:B10="y",IF(C1:C10="z",D1 :D10))))

=MIN(IF(A1:A10="x",IF(B1:B10="y",IF(C1:C10="z",D1: D10))))

=MAX(IF(A1:A10="x",IF(B1:B10="y",IF(C1:C10="z",D1: D10))))

Thanks again for the previous response.
Is there a way to get the mode min and or max with
multiple criteria?

You're close -- SUMPRODUCT does the job, but you've left
off the final piece:
"=SUMPRODUCT((Range1=Criteria1)*(Range2=Criteria2 )*
(Range3=Criteria3)*Range4)"

I want to get an average based on multiple criteria
without having to sort the records and identify the range.
Of course I can get to the average if I can get the sum.

I'm aware that I can sum records within a range that meet
a codition outside the range using the SUMIF function
"=SUMIF(Range,criteria,sum range)"

I can also count records that meet multiple criteria
using
the SUMPRODUCT function
"=SUMPRODUCT((Range1=Criteria1)*(Range2=Criteria2 )*
(Range3=Criteria3)"

I've also seen this array formula to count records that
meet multiple criteria:
{=SUM(IF(Range1=Criteria1,IF(Range2=Criteria2,I F
(Range3=Criteria3,1,0)))
But the SUMPRODUCT formula is easier to work with.

However, I have not found or figured out a sum formula
for
multple criteria. Any help out there?
Thanks
