Which (logical) function?
Table was codes...if the ID begins with a w and the number in the second
column is a 1 add the ones (which are male ;) A B 1 ID Gender 2 W01 2 3 W02 1 4 G01 1 5 W08 1 I have: =COUNTIF(A$2:$A$5,"=w??")*AND(COUNTIF(B$2:$B$5,"1" ))...which isn't correct because it returns 3 (all the w's) I suppose. What do I do??? TIA! |
Which (logical) function?
For more than one criteria, use Sumproduct, as in:
=sumproduct((left(a2:a5)="w")*(b2:b5=1)) Regards, Fred "JustJill" wrote in message ...

Sorry, make that:
=sumproduct((left(a2:a5,1)="w")*(b2:b5=1)) Fred "Fred Smith" wrote in message ...

Another way
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A5)&(B1:B5)="W1")) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "JustJill" wrote: Table was codes...if the ID begins with a w and the number in the second column is a 1 add the ones (which are male ;) A B 1 ID Gender 2 W01 2 3 W02 1 4 G01 1 5 W08 1 I have: =COUNTIF(A$2:$A$5,"=w??")*AND(COUNTIF(B$2:$B$5,"1" ))...which isn't correct because it returns 3 (all the w's) I suppose.
