as an array. Answer always 0???

=COUNT(IF((E18:E35="SMOOTHING")*(K18:K35="JC"),0))

Hi,

Try this instead

=SUMPRODUCT(--(E18:E35="SMOOTHING"),--(K18:K35="JC"))

Its not array entered and in general runs faster than arrays.

.. Answer always 0???

Its source data quality, probably there are pesky, invisible white spaces
here & there throwing apparent correct matches/counts off

You could use TRIM around the 2 source ranges in your array expression:
=COUNT(IF((TRIM(E18:E35)="SMOOTHING")*(TRIM(K18:K3 5)="JC"),0))
which should now yield correct results

Or, use TRIM in Shane's suggested non-array expression:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(TRIM(E18:E35)="SMOOTHING"),--(TRIM(K18:K35)="JC"))

Voila? Celebrate with us, click the YES buttons below in all responses ..

Hi,

Although there is nothing really wrong with your formula, it should give the
correct results, a better way to phrase it would be:

=SUM(IF((E18:E35="SMOOTHING")*(K18:K35="JC"),1,0))

Array entered.

If your formula is failing to return the correct results it is probably
because it isn't array entered Press Shift+Ctrl+Enter to enter it.

=COUNT(IF((E18:E35="SMOOTHING")*(K18:K35="JC"),0))

That can be reduced to:

=SUM((E18:E35="SMOOTHING")*(K18:K35="JC"))

If I use the =sumproductxxxxxx formula, is give a "FALSE"
All other formulas as array return 0
