Excel, two text fields equal the number 1 per occurance
I just found out that this can be done with the COUNTIFS function in Excel
2007. But how can we do it in 2003? "Don McLean" wrote: I am in need of help with an excel function. Here is some sample data.

Excel, two text fields equal the number 1 per occurance
Since you can't use COUNTIFS in 2003 and you have two criteria in your
counting decision, you could concatenate your two criteria in column C and use that column in your COUNTIF formula. I would put put the following formula in column C =A4&" "&B4 and this formula in column D =COUNTIF($C$4:$C$11,C4) copy them down. (my data was in rows 4:11) You could use an Advanced Filter to make a unique list of name-drink combinations in another location, and then use the countif formula for those cells.

You can't use entire columns as range references unless you're using Excel
2007. If you are using Excel 2007 the COUNTIFS function would be a better choice. So, unless you're using Excel 2007 use a smaller specific range. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Don McLean" wrote in message ... Doesn't help, any other ideas?
