I think you need this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20="reason")*(D2:D20<""))

The second term means cells in D2:D20 are not blank.

Your second question can be achieved like this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20="reason")*(B2:B200)*(B2:B20<1 4))

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I'm looking to do something along the same lines but using text and numbers.
*The formula below is what i've come up with

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20="reason")*(D2:D20,"<0""))

I get a value of 0 or an error returning. *I'm also looking to do a range
for the numbers too, so B2 to B20 for numbers greater than 0 but less than 14
and equal to reason.

Hope you can help.

Many thanks

Andy

I am trying to count a cell if criteria from two separate columns are met.

For example, my first column has the letters A, B, C, D or no letters at
all. *The second column has different descriptive words (i.e. internal
medicine, psychiatrist, etc). *I would like a cell to be counted if a cell
in
the first column contains an A or B or C or D AND a cell in the second
colum
contains the word "psychiatrist".

What is the best function/formula to use for this problem?

Aha... Sumproduct is not a function I ever tried

I have a column of text. *Some cells contain the character "@" with a
space
preceding the rest of text in the cell. *I realize the @ could be
considered
an operator so it is preceded with an apostrophe to designate text.. *I
want
to sum the cells that have the "@"

Thanks

You'll need to be a bit clearer as to what you're trying to do. *If
COUNTIF
or SUMIF doesn't do the job, you may want to try SUMPRODUCT.

I have been trying to calculate a column of Text in order to sum

by
certain criteria

I have tried Count, CoutA and CountIF and cannot be able to get

work.

Am I barking up the wrong tree? :) *Can this be done?
