How to get number of rows which match criteria
Coloum A Column B
Closed Settings Open Settings Closed Prametes Open UI I want to calculate Number of rows which have in Column A Closed and in Column B Settings . Please help .. |
One way would be
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="Closed"),(B2:B100="Settings")) Change ranges to suit -- Regards Roger Govier "kiranmani" wrote in message ...

typo
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="Closed"),--(B2:B100="Settings")) -- HTH Bob Phillips "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...

Hi Bob
Thanks for that. However, I am confused (nothing new there!!). Normally I use the "*" in the SUMPRODUCT formula and would normally have submitted =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="Closed")*(B2:B100="Settings")) which works fine. However, following a post from J.E. the other day where he suggested the use of the "," as a separator was marginally more efficient, I substituted it in this formula (without testing) and you quite rightly pointed out it doesn't work. Perhaps I need more explanation on the difference between the two methods. -- Regards Roger Govier "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... typo =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100="Closed"),--(B2:B100="Settings")) -- HTH Bob Phillips "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...

Hi Roger,
I cannot believe that * versus -- would make any noticeable difference on any spreadsheet.. It might be more efficient as the * will do the coercion in the same step as the product, but that might also make it less so. And with some complex formulae, it will be better to coerce to numeric before the product. But as I said I cannot believe it would be noticeable. BTW, if you do use the * operator, you don't need to coerce the first part =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100="Closed")*(B2:B100="Settings" )) Perhaps this can help you http://xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html -- HTH Bob Phillips "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...

Hi Bob & Aladin
Thank you for the references. They were both very useful and all is now clear. -- Regards Roger Govier "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
