Awesome - THanks! i was trying to do it where "supporter" was referred to as
a cell number (A263), which wasn't working - you presumably have to enter the actual text.

Counting text in two columns
Hi,
For technical reasons the following is a useful alternative: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A$1:A$100=C1),--(B$1:B$100=D1)) First the references to C1 and D1 allow greater flexability, you might also consider range names for A1:A100 and B1:B100, and the -- avoids some problems when using * might cause a problem depending on data types, such as errors. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Lisa" wrote: I have two columns A = words such as supporter, staff, board B = regsitered, not registered etc I want to count number with two pieces if info - i.e number of staff that have registered; number of supporters that are not registered Help! i have excel 2003 Thanks, |
