Hi all,

can you give a countif formula more than one condition/criteria, e.g.
=countif(P:P,"female") and say for instance Blonde, how would I include
the second criteria.

I tried a number of ways =countif(P:P,"female";"blonde") ,
=countif(P:P,"female")+countif(P:P,"blonde") but nothing works.

Cheers

=SUMPRODUCT(--(P2:P200={"female","blonde"}))

Note that SUMPRODUCT doesn't work with complete columns, you have to specify
a range..

One of those you quoted should work

=countif(P:P,"female")+countif(P:P,"blonde")

or alternatively

=sum(countif(P:P,{"female","blonde"}))
