Countif Function -Nested
I'm trying to create a countif function with three criteria, but for the life
of me I can't figure out the nested function. For example, I want to countif column A=1, and column b=2 and column c=3. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you so much! |

Countif does not work well with multiple criteria.
the sumproduct function would work better try =sumproduct(--(a1:a100=1),--(b1:b100=2),--(c1:c100=3)) "Angi" wrote: I'm trying to create a countif function with three criteria, but for the life of me I can't figure out the nested function.

BJ,
Using this function, gave me a response of Zero "0" and I'm sure that isn't correct. Should I use the CTRL ALT ENTER?

no sumproduct is an array function.
if you have the 1,2 3 combo in a row it should have worked (It did on mine) are you sure that the 1,2 and 3 are numbers and not text? you can check by seting up an equation such as =(a1=1) if it is a number 1 the answer will be true. if it is a text 1 the answer will be false. if there are text numbers one common way to change them to numbers is to put a 1 someplace copy it and select what you want to convert and paste special multiply.

It worked on two columns, but the third column is a date and it isn't working.

for dates make the section be (C1-C100=datevalue(datetext))
You may have to play a bit with the format of the date to make it work the way you want. "Angi" wrote: It worked on two columns, but the third column is a date and it isn't working.
