count if
I have a problem I want to count with multiply parameters.
ex. tp403 e lp602 p tp601 e tp403 p I want to count when column 1 is tp... and column 2 is e. I can count, but i have a problem with using wildcard *. |
count if
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A100,2)="tp"),--(B1:B100="e"))

If you make an extra column which concatentate the two fields (maybe with an unusual separator for safety), you can then use the COUNTIF function on this. tp403 e tp403|e lp602 p lp602|p tp601 e tp601|e tp403 p tp403|p =COUNTIF(C1:C4,"tp*|e") gives the value of 2 -- mrice Research Scientist with many years of spreadsheet development experience ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrice's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=10931 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=536900 |
