Multi-demensional frequency distribution
I'm looking for a formula that can display the number of people whose account activity matches two sets of criteria.
Countifs() and Frequency() come close, but can't quite do what I need. (Or, I can't figure out how to use them effectively.) I have two data columns, 5 rows each, each row representing a unique person: A1:A5 - closing bank account balances B1:B5 - total account deposits A 2000.00 2500.00 1500.00 500.00 3000.00 B 100.00 200.00 0.00 100.00 400.00 I want to be able to count the number of people who satisfy the following criteria: C1: Account Balance < 2500 and Deposits < 250 C2: Account Balance = 2500 and Deposits < 250 D1: Account Balance < 2500 and Deposits = 250 D2: Account Balance = 2500 and Deposits = 250 If I use the FREQUENCY array function I can validate one criteria only. I can either determine the frequency of Account balance meeting the criteria OR Deposits, but not both. I also tried using COUNTIFS like: C1:=countifs(A1:A5,"=0",A1:A5,"<2500",B1:B5,"=0" ,B1:B5,"<250") However, this doesn't give an accurate result for between 0 to 250 AND between 0 to 2500. I understand why this doesn't work, but I wanted to give an idea of what I am trying to accomplish. If anyone understands what I am trying to do, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, TK |

What I gave you was an example, and your response works for that. However, there are many more than two rows and two columns in the real problem (C1:V20) with much smaller increments than 250 / 2500, and so I can't rely on just a <250 and <2500 I have to specify "between" in some manner. That's why I was trying to use the countifs in the manner I show in the example. |

You can also use cell references for the values so you can change the formula by changing the values. And you can extend the formula for your other columns.

Regards Claus Busch -- Win XP PRof SP2 / Vista Ultimate SP2 Office 2003 SP2 /2007 Ultimate SP2 Yes, I found a different error that made me think my original countifs wasn't working. You are right, it did what I needed all along. Thanks again! TK |
