Greetings,

I need to count up the number of occurrences of the letter "Q" in Column A,
only if the string in Column B = "Claims."

That is, how do I combine . . .

=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A1:A100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"Q","")))
AND
=COUNTIF(B1:B100,"Claims")

I have tried various approaches and different formulas, but nothing seems to
work. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

this will count where the cell in a is Q and the cell in b is claims

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100,"q")*(b1:b100="claims"))

Thanks, but that doesn't work either.
Incidentally, Column A cells may contain from 1 to 15 different letters. My
dilemma is that I'm only looking for those including "Q" (and "Claims" in
Column B).

Don had a small typo.

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="q")*(b1:b100="claims"))

If by:

dilemma is that I'm only looking for those including "Q"

Your mean that there could be other letters in the cell then use your own
formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(A1:A100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100,"Q",""))),--(B1:B100="Claims"))

Note however that it is case ensitive and it will return wrong results if
there are more than one *Q* in the cell. To avaid there errors try:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1:A100),"Q",""))<LEN(A1:A1 00)),--(B1:B100="Claims"))

This assumes that *Claims* is the only entry in the matching cells in Column
B

Array formula that must be entered using ctrl+shift+enter
=SUM(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("q",$C$1:$C$22)),0,1)*($D$1 :$D$22="claims"))

A macro using ucase and lcase
Sub countpartials()
For Each c In Range("c2:c12")
If InStr(UCase(c), "Q") 0 And LCase(c.Offset(, 1)) _
= "claims" Then ctr = ctr + 1
Next c
MsgBox ctr
End Sub
