Calculating combination of text occurances
HI,
I am attempting to update our medical benefits spreadsheet. I would like to calculate how many employees are enrolled in each plan type. Column A lists the provider (Aetna, Kaiser and Blue Shield), Column B lists the coverage type (employee, emp + spouse etc). I wanted a total for each possible combination from both colums. For example: Kaiser+Employee Kaiser+Employee/Spouse Aetna+Employee I have failed miserably with the COUNTIF and hope someone out there will take pity on me and show me the light. Thanks, AGA |

Calculating combination of text occurances
Hi,
Try this =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A22="Kaiser")*(B1:B22="Employee")) In practice i'd use cell references in the formula =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A22=C1)*(B1:B22=C2)) Mike "AGA" wrote: HI, I am attempting to update our medical benefits spreadsheet.

Calculating combination of text occurances
Use =SUMPRODUCT()
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A1000="Aetna")*(B1:B1000="employee ")) and similar formulas for the other 5 combinations -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200838 "AGA" wrote: HI, I am attempting to update our medical benefits spreadsheet.

Calculating combination of text occurances
Hi,
You may also consider using a pivot table. It get you the result without any formulas -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "AGA" wrote in message ...
