What would my formula look like if I had 2 conditions that needed to be met
and then for any that met that condition to count those instances, in this
case it is all text entries.

Thanks
Bec

What are the conditions?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISTEXT(Range1)),--(Range2=1),--(Range3=2))

as an example but you need to be more specific

Do you mean something like this:

...........A..........B
1........D..........B
2........X..........Y
3........X..........C
4........C..........X
5........X..........Y

Count instances where column A = X and the same row in column B = Y ?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5="X"),--(B1:B5="Y"))

The result is 2.

A better way to do this is to use cells to hold the criteria:

D1 = X
E1 = Y

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5=D1),--(B1:B5=E1))

It worked a treat on my test page but I'm having trouble with the 'real'
spreadsheet, maybe because I'm using validation lists?

I'll keep going, but thanks so much for the help!!

Try explaining what you're wanting to do in more specific detail. Your
original post was really vague and I was just guessing at what you wanted.
