Formula blues....
I am trying to determine the total count of cells containing certain data, and I can't get my formula to work correctly. I need to get the total number of cells that fit the following criteria: If column B contains xxx, and column F is equal to yyy, yyy, yyy, or yyy, and column G is not equal to zzz, then count the cells. I'm sure this can be done (right?) but I am not having any luck. -- telewats ------------------------------------------------------------------------ telewats's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30270 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=503018 |

Not sure I understood the part about the F column but try this:
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B10="xxx")*OR(F1:F10="yyy,yyy,yyy" )*OR(F1:F10="yyy")*(G1:G10<"zzz")) HTH JG "telewats" wrote: I am trying to determine the total count of cells containing certain data, and I can't get my formula to work correctly.

=SUMPRODUCT((B17:B20="xxx")*(OR(F17:F20="yyy,yyy,y yy",F17:F20="yyy"))*(G17:G20<"zzz"))

I don't think that OR works in a SUMPRODUCT function. When I enter xxx in B17:B20, zzz in G18 & G20 and just z in G19 then if I put yyy in ANY cell in F17:F20 the formula return 2. In other words the OR is making the yyy apply to all cells in F17:F20 The "+" in the formula I posted works like an OR but I see that I forgot to eliminate the zzz in column G so it should have been: SUMPRODUCT((B1:B30="xxx")*((F1:F30="yyy1")+(F1:F30 ="yyy2")+(F1:F30="yyy3"))*(G1:G30<"zzz")) -- HTH Sandy with @tiscali.co.uk "Bill Kuunders" wrote in message ... =SUMPRODUCT((B17:B20="xxx")*(OR(F17:F20="yyy,yyy,y yy",F17:F20="yyy"))*(G17:G20<"zzz")) seems to work for me -- Greetings from New Zealand Bill K "pinmaster" wrote in message ...

I was going to reply saying that my formula didn't work after all but I guess
it should be obvious by now. Glad someone was able to come up with something that works. Learned something new in the process so that's good, thanks Sandy.

Inefficient?? I don't know about that, seems an obvious solution to me!

Thank You
I didn't check it all because I wasn't expecting any problems. again I'm learning every day............ Bill K "Sandy Mann" wrote in message ...
