Need help with IF Formula
 

Hi-

In principal, I'd like to do a COUNTIF statement within an IF statement.
Can't seem to get it to work just right. Here's my sheet:

Column A Column B
A APPLE
B ORANGE
F APPLE

I'd like the formula to say:

If column B equals APPLE, count column A if it equals F.

This would give me a return of 1.

Would appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

Try this:

=Sumproduct((a1:a100="F")*(B1:B100="Apple"))

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B100="Apple"),--(A1:A100="F"))
If you are using Excel 2007
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B:B="Apple"),--(A:A="F"))
or
=COUNTIFS(A:A,"F",B:B,"Apple")
best wishes

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((B$1:B$20="Apple")*(A$1:A$20="F"))

You could put Apple and F into some other cells, and then refer to
those cells in the formula rather than the specific values.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
try

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B300="Apple"),--(A1:A300="F"))
