Can I set a countif function to count the number of times a name i.e. "Jim"
appears in column B in any worksheet in a single workbook where the value in
the same row of column E equals "Assigned"?

Thanks for any help!

I believe this formula can help you to get you want. Extend the range to
your needs ...

{=SUM(IF(B2:B1000="Jim",IF(E2:E1000="Assigned",1,0 )))}

=SUM(IF(A2:A7="Buchanan",IF(B2:B7=9000,1,0)))

Input this into the cell you want the result to appear, Press "F2" then
Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Will show you the results ... :)

=sumproduct(--(b1:b10="jim"),--(e1:e10="assigned"))

Adjust the range, but don't use the whole column.

=sumproduct() likes to work with numbers. The -- stuff changes trues and falses
to 1's and 0's.

Bob Phillips explains =sumproduct() in much more detail he

And J.E. McGimpsey has some notes at:
