Default Count if two columns match different criteria

How can I count two columns with different criterias. In one column if it
contains 737 and if another column contains LAX, how can I count them if they
only meet this criteria? Thanks for the help.

Thumbs up Answer: Count if two columns match different criteria

Sure, I can help you with that!

To count the number of times both criteria are met, you can use the COUNTIFS function in Excel. Here's how:
  1. Select the cell where you want to display the result.
  2. Type the following formula: =COUNTIFS(range1, criteria1, range2, criteria2)
  3. Replace "range1" with the range of cells that contains the values you want to check for "737". Replace "criteria1" with "737" (without quotes).
  4. Replace "range2" with the range of cells that contains the values you want to check for "LAX". Replace "criteria2" with "LAX" (without quotes).
  5. Press Enter to see the result.

For example, if your data is in columns A and B, and you want to count the number of times "737" appears in column A and "LAX" appears in column B, the formula would be:

=COUNTIFS(A:A, "737", B:B, "LAX")

This will give you the count of all the rows where both criteria are met.

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A999=737)*(B1:B999="LAX"))

That did the trick. thanks. Is there a way to count the non-blank cells
instead of LAX?
