Count # items in ColA if blank in ColB
Something like this: =sumproduct((ColA="xxx")*(ColB=""))

Try something like: =sumproduct((A1:A100="criteria")*(B1:B100="")) That assumes a simple criteria based on matching text. If the criteria is numeric, you would exclude the double-quotes. If the criteria is not a simple comparison (equal, less than, greater than, etc), you may need to be more specific if you cannot apply the above paradigm. |

Count # items in ColA if blank in ColB
I'm assuming you are using XL2003 or earlier. If so, you cannot use whole
column (such as A:A) references within the SUMPRODUCT function... you have to specify a fixed range and all ranges should be the same length (there are some exceptions to this, but not for the simple ranges you are using). So, try something like this... =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A1000="xxx")*(B2:B1000="")) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Nadine" wrote in message ... Unfortunately I got the result #NUM!. Thanks for trying.

Count # items in ColA if blank in ColB
ColA is a hardware type and ColB is other data where I want to count the
blanks if they match the criteria in ColA. This is to summarize the rows and rows of data. So: How do I count all the laptops in ColA where ColB is blank? Thanks.
