I need help. In column A I have a 1=male and 2=female. In column E I have
1=less than 5 yrs, 2=2-5yrs and 3=over 5 yrs. I'm trying to figure out how
many males (1's) have less than 5 yrs (1), 2-5 yrs(2), ect. I've tried the
countif but I keep getting an error. Either that or I get the wrong answer
when I test a couple of cells-help.

Thanks,
Becky

Hi!

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=1),--(E1:E100=1))

Or use cell references that hold the values for M or F and
the years.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100=B1),--(E1:E100=F1))

Wow, thanks. Maybe the problem before was that I was trying to use "1" (with
quotation marks).
