Help with Formulas
I need help with creating a formula. I want to count the total number of individuals who meet a certain criteria in one column and a certain criteria in another column. For example: I want to find out the total number of people who live in Germany and went on a specific trip. For argument sake let's say column A is at lists only Y or N for yes and no, and column B is a list of Countries such as Germany, America, etc. I would like to figure out the total number of individuals who have a Y in column A and the word Germany in column B. This is what I have done so far and it works for counting only those with Germany in column B or a Y in column A: =COUNTIF('[Spreadsheet Name.xls]'!$B:$B,"Germany") or =COUNTIF('[Spreadsheet Name.xls]'!$A:$A,"Y") The first formula will give me the total number of individuals with the word Germany in column B, and the second will give me a total number of individuals with a Y in column A. How can I combine these two formulas to come up with one that will only count those individuals who have both the word Germany in column B and a Y in column A? I appreciate your assistance with this matter.
