COUNTIF Function in MS Excel

Does anyone know if you can use more than one criteria when using the COUNTIF function?

Thanks,
You're close, but no cigar...
I messed with the Pivot Table, but i need the Project Names in consecutive columns (not rows).
What I was hoping to find was a way to get the VLOOKUP function to deliver me not just the 1st occurence of the criteria in an arrauy, but the Nth occurence (or whatever occurence I specified).
I'm still looking for the answer... anyone else?

No. But there are alternative methods of computing multiple criteria that must hold at the same time. Perhaps you can tell us what you want to do (with a bit of data if possible).

Try something like
=COUNTIF(array,AND(criteria1,criteria2))
If you want to use SUMIF, you need to write a macro using {} brackets and some other stuff that can be found by using the Excel Help function, searching on SUMIF and selecting the Examples of Common Formulas and reading all the way down...
