Actually, this is a lot better for me to use as I seem to have a issue
around
ref number in the formula. Using the below counts the correct figures.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Try something like this...

Use cells to hold the criteria to be counted:

E1 = some Type like A
F1 = some Status lkke X
G1 = some Ref No. like 1.06

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=E1),--(B1:B100=F1),--(C1:C100=G1))

Hi,

I'm having problems getting the right formula to suit what I need.

Basically I have a large spreadsheet containing many records and I want
to
count the number of records that meet three specific types of criteria.

e.g.

Column A = Type
Column B = Status
Column C = Ref No. (i.e. 1.06)

The above columns have many different entries, therefore I would like
to
count the number of records which meet the following criteria. No of
Records
= Type A, Status X, Ref 1.06.

I have used SUMProduct, CountIF and etc but I don't seem to be doing it
correctly.

I have done this using PivotTables but I would like to add this formula
to
another data table, hence the formulae question.

Many thanks in advance.
