I'm getting really confused....
I need to count how many times a number appears if it has a specific word written next to it....for example.... A B 1 1 Summer 1 2 2 Summer 2 3 1 Autumn 1 4 3 Autumn 2 I need to count how many times the number 1, 2 and 3 appear next to Autumn 2 in the table..... does that make any sense? I've tried using the Dcount function and either I'm not doing it right, or it doesn't work for this... The countif formula works if I don't need to specify summer or autumn, but in this case I do... Can anyone help?...Please? It's driving me nuts! Thanks |

Hi,
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A22=ROW(A1))*(B1:B22="Summer 1")) Put this in a cell and drag down 2 rows Row 1 = 1 and summer 1 Row 2 = 2 and summer 1 etc Mike "Scoob_a" wrote: I'm getting really confused....

Separately?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10=1),--(B1:B10="Autumn 2")) etc. Or all at once? =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10={1,2,3})*(B1:B10="Autumn 2")) -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "Scoob_a" wrote in message ...

Try this:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A4=1)*(B1:B4="Autumn2)) Adjust the ranges to suit, but you can't use full-column references (unless you are using XL2007). Change the =1 in the first term to get counts for the other values in column A, or you could use a cell to hold the values. Hope this helps.
