I am trying to countif based on two columns. =countif(A1:A35,"s-j" and B1:B35,"false"). Both values in cooresponding rows must be true to add to the count.
I think the AND function in conjunction with COUNTIF might be applicable, but haven't gotten it to work yet.
Thanks!

Try:

=SUM((A1:A35="s-j")*(B1:B35="false"))

This is an array formula, press ctrl-shift-enter after you enter it into the formula bar. It should be surrounded by { } if entered properly. You can then copy normally.

Last question along these lines, Aladin Akyurek used sumproduct(), if you want a non-array solution, use the wizard to piece this variety together.

Appologies hit the button too soon.

If "false" as you put is in fact the logical value FALSE, use:

=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A35,"s-j")*(B1:B35=FALSE))

If "false" is text, use:

=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A35,"s-j")*(B1:B35="false"))

You need to enter as an array formula Ctrl + Shift + Enter the following formula...

=SUM(IF(A1:A15="s-j",IF(B1:B15=FALSE,1,0),0))

I've just misposted and seen NateO has used another alternative.

Good point Aladin, if you hard enter false in column B, don't use the quotes, it should default to the logical value Aladin's referring to. If it's a formula based text result, quote away. Same methodology with the array I posted earlier.
