Using CountIf with 2 conditions - help!
Hi there
I have 2 columns of data. I want to ask Excel to look in column 1, determine which rows match the condition, then look at column 2 and in those rows which matched the condition, count how many have values in them i.e. exclude blanks. Not sure how to build 2 conditions into a countif - any ideas?? Thanks! |

Assuming your 2 cols are cols B and D, where col B houses eg: Name1, Name2, etc and col D may or may not contain figures With E1, E2 containing: Name1, Name2, ... we could put in say, F1: =SUMPRODUCT(($B$1:$B$100=E1)*($D$1:$D$100<"")) and copy down Adapt the ranges to suit, but note that we can't use entire col references (eg: A:A, B:B) in SUMPRODUCT -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Use an Array Formula. The following is an example of looking at 2 columns of
data: =COUNT(IF((A1:A5=1)*(D1:D5=2),1)) This is evaluating A1:A5 to see if it contains a "1" and (consider the "*" an "AND") evaluating D1:D5 to see if it contains a "2". When BOTH conditions are met, the counter is incremented by 1. A couple notes: - You cannot specify $A:$A, as the range - that is, the whole "infinite" column cannot be specificed, rather you must specify a finite range. - Upon entering this command, when you are ready to hit the "Enter" key, hold down the Ctrl-Shift keys first. This will result in brackets being place around the formula. Hope this helps. "Sarah" wrote in message ... Hi there I have 2 columns of data.

Hi Sarah, The SUMPRODUCT function should work for this. Try something like =SUMPRODUCT((condition one)*(condition two)) where, for example, condition one is A1:A50<200 and condition two is C1:C50="Yes". Good luck! -- trempnvt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ trempnvt's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=34710 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=544795 |

Try Bob Phillips' excellent treatment on SUMPRODUCT at his: http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html Scroll down to "SUMPRODUCT Explained" where you'll find all the details fully explained. And if you do set aside the time to look through the entire white paper, you'd well be on your way to mastering it very quickly ! -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
