countif OR function
Hi
I am using the following formula to calculate the number of males and females in my class lists. It works well. COUNTIF(D3:D28,"M") COUNTIF(D3:D28,"F") I want to count the total number of Males and Females, I am currently using a a sum function on the range but is it possible to use an OR expression inside a function? Basically what I was looking for was a version of what follows (that works!) COUNTIF(D3:D28,"M" or "F") so if there were 5 males and 7 females it would return the value 12. this is more for my own education than anything else. Thanks |
Hi!
Try one of these: =COUNTIF(D3:D28,"M")+COUNTIF(D3:D28,"F") =SUMPRODUCT(--(D3:D28="M")+(D3:D28="F")) Biff "nospam" wrote in message ...

You could use:
=SUM(COUNTIF(D3:D28,{"M","F"})) or just =COUNTIF(D3:D28,"M") + COUNTIF(D3:D28,"F") (in one cell) nospam wrote: Hi I am using the following formula to calculate the number of males and females in my class lists.

=SUMPRODUCT((D3:D28="M")+(D3:D28="F"))

.... =SUMPRODUCT(--(D3:D28="M")+(D3:D28="F")) -- is redundant, because the addition coerces both logical arrays to numbers. Jerry |
