Hi all,

I know that I have asked this question before, but I got it a bit
wrong.

What I am trying to count is criteria from two different columns, lets
say column F and column H.

i.e. F, I will count all of the females and H I will count all of the
Blondes. But what I am trying to count is all of the Blonde Females,
therefore using being able to seperate them from the Brunette Females,
Redhead Females, etc.

cheers

I thought that might be the case, and thought about including it, but you
seemed so definite <G

=SUMPRODUCY(--(F2:F200="blonde"),--(H2:H200="blonde"))

I find using the sumproduct worksheet function is ideal for this type of
request.
=sumproduct(($a$1:$a$100="blonde")*($b$1:$b$100="f emale")*1)

the *1 at the end might not be needed

It is not, the * does all the coercion needed.

Thanks for all your help.

and just to let you know how I worked it out, I used this "array
formula".

=sum((F2:F200="female")*(H2:H200="blonde")) and then pressed
Ctl/Shift/enter.

and it worked.

Once again thanks for your help.:)

You can reduce two (or many) criteria to a single criterium:


In an un-used cell enter:
=F1 & H1 and copy down

Then the criterium would be BlondeFemale
