How do I add multiple conditions to a formula?
Hi, I've tried using COUNT, SUM, SUMIF, COUNTIF, SUMPRODUCT, and nesting IF
functions, but I can't seem to get this formula to work. control 0.122 GlcNAc 0.255 GlcNAc 0.478 control 0.377 control 0.301 I want to count the number of values for "control" between 0.3 and 0.4, and have this count represented in a cell on a separate worksheet. Thanks a lot for all your help. |

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="control")*(B1:B5=0.3)*(B1:B5< =0.4))

Thanks Jerry for the quick reply. It's giving me the right answer now,
though it's not really a sum of the products of those values, is it? I mean, what's written looks like it should give the sum of 0.377 and 0.301 (0.678), and not the value 2, if I understood the help on that function in Excel, which I guess I didn't. "Jerry W.

This is an undocumented, but quite common use of SUMPRODUCT
(A1:A5="control") etc. each return an array of 5 booleans (True or False). "*" is used instead of "," to multiply the arrays together because "*" in the process converts True-1 and False-0, so you end up with an array of 5 ones (if all 3 conditions are satisfied) or zeros (otherwise). Summing that array or zeros and ones is equivalent to counting the number of cases where all 3 conditions are satisfied. SUMPRODUCT was used instead of SUM because SUM would need to have been array entered. In boolean arithmetic, "*" functions like "AND" and "+" functions like "OR"; you can use them together with parentheses (to control order of evaluation) to produce quite complicated conditions.
