Tricky Conditional Count
I need to do a conditional count (how many rows are there where the following
conditions are both true). One condition is, does a cell that contains multiple text strings (DEF5678, GHI6789, ABC1234) contain the text string ABC1234? If that condition is true, is the second condition also true? Tell me how many records there are where both conditions are true. I'm very familiar with array formulas {=sum((array1=ABC1234)*(array2=test2))}, and I'm familiar with searching for text strings (=countif(B2:B100,"*"ABC1234"*"). Any thoughts? Steve |

Try this
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ABC1234",A10:A12))),--(B10:B12="test")) "Steve" wrote: I need to do a conditional count (how many rows are there where the following conditions are both true).

Barb -
That did it, thanks. Teach me what the double -- does for the formula, please. I appreciate the assistance.

Tricky Conditional Count
The "double unary minus" changes a boolean (false or true) to a number 0 or
1 so that you can multiply. -- David Biddulph "Steve" wrote in message ... Barb - That did it, thanks. Teach me what the double -- does for the formula, please.

You can use a single "-" no quotes, if you have even criterias, like 2, 4 , 6
and so on... =SUMPRODUCT(-(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ABC1234",A10:A12))),-(B10:B12="test")) "Steve" wrote: Barb - That did it, thanks. Teach me what the double -- does for the formula, please.
