Combining "COUNTIF"

[Tim in Toronto]

Hi All,

I've been scratching my head over this one . . .

- I have 475 Retails stores listed

- These stores are classified & labelled as size "A", "B", "C", "D" or "E" depending on their retail space.

- I have a handful of these stores going through a Grand Opening this Fall 2007

- I would like to draw up a formula that goes through my store size column and count how many times it finds an "A" size store, but ALSO is flagged as "FALL 2007" in the column beside it.

I know the COUNTIF statement will count how many "A" I have listed, but that counts all 111 "A" size stores. Only 9 of those 111 stores are grand opening this Fall.

I are stuck. Help?
Tim

Either a Pivot Table or,

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ColumnBeside="Fall 2007"),--(SizeStoreRange="Size"))

Hi Tim

Say hello to Sumproduct:

=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B500="A")+0,(C2:C500="Fall 2007")+0)

Note: You can't use whole col refs with sumproduct (so no A:A etc). The criteria ("A", "Fall 2007") can be cell references holding these values (makes the formula more flexible).

Hi Rich,

That didn't seem to do anything. I just get a result of zero, but it should be 9.

I'm using =SUMPRODUCT((E2:E500="A")+0,(I2:I500="FALL 2007")+0)

Column E has all my store sizes listed.
Column I has "FALL 2007" beside the particular stores
