=COUNTIF using two criteria

Posted by Samuel John SDhoptaw on August 31, 2001 7:43 AM

I would like to set up a criteria based on date and name of project. Date is in cell M and project name is in cell AH using =COUNTIF. Can someone help me?

Use the array formula...

{=SUM((M1:M5="8/31/01"+0)*(AH1:AH5="Project1"))}

Note: Array formulas are entered using the
Control+Shift+Enter key combination. The braces,
{}, are not entered by you -- they're supplied
by Excel in recognition of properly entered
array formula.

=SUMPRODUCT((M2:M100=the-cel-that contains-criterion-date)*(AH2:AH100=the-cell-that-contains-criterion-project-name))

where I assumed that all your dates are in M2:M100 and project names in AH2:AH100.
