A question about the Count/CountIf function
 
I have a counting question.

I have some columns that have codes and numbers in them and want to count
the amount of times that they appear in that specific column. That is easy.
But I also have other data in other columns that I want the count function to
refer to. So I have one column with codes in (e.g. ABC and DEF) and I have
another column with weights in (e.g 0.7 and 1.4). I want to create a
function that counts how many times ABC appears when it weighs less than 1.0.
Can I do this?

Also, can I expand the function further. For example I have another column
with length in it (e.g 120 and 340). Can I have a function that counts the
amount of times that ABC appears when it weighs less than 1.0 and is longer
that 200?

This can be accomplished easily with an autofilter, look it up and use custom
to put in <1 or whatever. There is also a count of records matching the
criteria at the bottom left of your screen

Hi Carl

Try
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$100="ABC")*($B$1:$B$100<1)*($ C$1:$C$100200))
Change ranges to suit, but ensure that they are of equal length.

I want to create a function
that counts how many times ABC appears when it weighs less than 1.0.


Try
=sumproduct((a1:a10="ABC")*(b1:b10<1))

Can I have a function that counts the amount of times
that ABC appears when it weighs less than 1.0 and is longer
that 200?


=sumproduct((a1:a10="ABC")*(b1:b10<1)*(c1:c10<200) )
