Number of cells that have same values
Imagine there are two columns of cells, each row of two cells are
corresponding to each other. How to find out the number of rows where the two corresponding cells have the same value? |
Number of cells that have same values
Assume your Columns are A and B, and your rows go down to 20, Array enter
this formula (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER): =SUM(IF(A1:A20=B1:B20,1,0)) Change the column and row references to fit your data. -- Regards, Dave "Lingyan Hu" wrote: Imagine there are two columns of cells, each row of two cells are corresponding to each other.

Number of cells that have same values
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A20=B2:B20),--(A2:A20<""),--(B2:B20<""))

Number of cells that have same values
Shall I push (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) at the same time while entering the formula?
I tried, but it doesn't seem to work.

Type this formula in the formula bar, and instead of just pushing "Enter" to
commit it, push CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. Also, after looking at Bob's post I realize my formula isn't taking into account blank cells, change to the following to fix (or just use Bob's formula): =SUM(IF(((A1:A20=B1:B20)*(A1:A20<"")*(B1:B20<"") ),1,0)) -- Regards, Dave "Lingyan Hu" wrote: Shall I push (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) at the same time while entering the formula?

Dave,
Your version can do away with the IF test =SUM(((A1:A20=B1:B20)*(A1:A20<"")*(B1:B20<""))) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "David Billigmeier" wrote in message ...

Very true, there are many ways to word it.
