Counting the number of times more than 1 variable occurs
I need to determine how many Separations were processed by a particular salesperson. A | B 1 MIKE | SEPARATION 2 MIKE | LEAVE 3 SARA | SEPARATION 4 JOE | SEPARATION 5 JAMIE | LEAVE 6 MIKE | LEAVE 7 JOE | LEAVE 8 SARA | SEPARATION The only way I can think of is the COUNTIF Funtion *COUNTIF(-range,criteria-)* =COUNTIF(A1:A8,(A1:A8="MIKE")*(B1:B8="SEPARATION") ) This does not work though. The results return 0 with no errors when the answer should be 1. does anyone else know of a way to get what I need? Or is there a problem with my formula? -- chrisdedobb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chrisdedobb's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30081 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=497615 |

You may want to look at pivottables. You won't have to build separate formulas
for each name. but: =sumproduct(--(a1:a10="mike"),--(b1:b10="Separation")) Adjust your ranges, but don't use the whole column. =sumproduct() likes to work with numbers. The -- converts trues and falses to 1's and 0's. chrisdedobb wrote: I need to determine how many Separations were processed by a particular salesperson.
