Default Count Function 2 Columns

In Column B I have up to 30 different center #'s (example 50101, 50202, 50303
and so on) In column K, I have either "Overnight" or "After Hours". I need a
formula on a seperate sheet (center #'s as headers, doesn't matter vertical
or horizontal) to return how many Overnights there are and how many After
Hours per month. A Pivot Table will work (too easy) but I'm dealing w/
non-excel users who keep breaking the pivot table and now all the data is
sorted on monthly worksheets rather than all data on one sheet.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ok so {=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B5="50101")--(K1:K5="Overnight"))} works if i keep
it on the same sheet...but it won't work a different worksheet as
{=SUMPRODUCT(--('November 05'!B1:B5="50101")--('November
05'!K1:K5="Overnight"))}
WHY? What am i doing wrong?

Worked OK for me.

=SUMPRODUCT(--('November 05'!B1:B5="50101"),--( 'November
05'!K1:K5="Overnight"))



Check 50101 is text not numeric

it also counted for 50104 and 50105 then returned the same for "After Hours"
and that's not correct. When I copied and adjusted the formula to pull for
50104 and 50105, it returned the same incorrect # as a total.
Thanks

I have re-tested with various combinations of data and had no problems.
Formula is NOT entered with CTRL/SHIFT/ENTER which your posting showing curly
brackets {} might indicate you are doing.

As I said earlier, check data is formatted OK.

In your formula, there is comma missing between the two elements of the
SUMPRODUCT statement: this will give erroneous results. Look at my version.
