counting cells (COUNTIF) based on two or more criteria
Iam using Excel 2003 and I am trying to count a row based on two criteria.
For example: I am trying to count all those rows where cell B has a value of "1" AND cell F has a value of "Completed". The COUNTIF() function appears to only accept one group of parameters. Using the COUNTIF() function twice in the cell with the + operator between them appears to add those that qualify for each criteria and the "&" appears to be giving me results I have yet to figure out. I am trying to build a summary table like below based on a worksheet with many detail records (rows) in another worksheet in the same workbook: Status Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 .... Level 10 Open 10 13 1 24 Started 9 7 3 18 Completed 5 9 12 11 Etc |

Try this...
=sumproduct(--(B2:B10=1),--(F2:F10="Completed")) You can continue adding as many extra conditions as you like. Hope this helps!

Careful...per XL Help, SUMPRODUCT is limited to 30 arrays.

Frank Kabel's reply to another post (use sUMPRODUCT. See:
http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html ) helped. However, in order for it to work for me, I had to make sure the first column I was evaluating did not contain numeric data. Example: Column A quality fruit color AA 1 apple red AA 1 orange green BB 1 apple yellow BB 2 pear green I needed to know how many Quality 1 red apples there were. The quality column test cannot be first in the SUM(IF(....) functions. The parameters needed to fall in the order of Color, fruit, quality OR fruit, color, quality, but quality could not be the first test performed (with or without quotes around the "1"). If someone knows a way around that, I'd love to entertain the suggestions. But for now, I have my answer.

Thank you. A reply to another post lead me down the SUM(IF()) nested
functions which is working, but the SUMPRODUCT is much easier to read and maintain than nested SUM(IF()). I'd like to change over to the SUMPRODUCT function, however, I am unable to count where column B is empty (a value has not yet been assigned to that row/column), but the other columns for that row have values. I want to make sure not to count the blank rows at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Tricia,
Surely if B is empty it fails the B1:B100=1 test. If you do want to ignore blanks, just add that as a condition --(B1:B100<"") Glad you like the SUMPRODUCT web page :-) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Tricia S." wrote in message ...

It does fail, but I need to capture it in a count of all those that have
nothing in column B, but have a value in column F, among other criteria (which I'm not having problems with <yet). The two below do not work (or I'm doing something wrong) I should get a result of 1 (but it's returning 0) =SUMPRODUCT(--($B$1:$B$100=""),--($F$1:$F$100="Completed"),--($A$1:$A$100="AA")) =SUMPRODUCT(--($B$1:$B$100=" "),--($F$1:$F$100="Completed"),--($A$1:$A$100="AA")) "Bob Phillips" wrote: Tricia, Surely if B is empty it fails the B1:B100=1 test.

Tricia,
There is nothing wrong with the formula, I entered AA in A1, Completed in F1, and I got a 1. Does your AA or Completed have any trailing spaces? -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Tricia S." wrote in message ...

No, no trailing spaces. And now that I've entered the formula into a new
spreadsheet it's working as expected. Odd. There must have been something strange with the data in the previous spreadsheet. It's all working now, and I very much appreciate your help!
