Hello, I am trying to figure out how to create a formula using multiple criteria in different columns. Ideally, I need to use the whole column (i.e. E:E rather than E2:E400) because I don't want to have to update the formula every time I input data.
I will simplify my spreadsheet for example purpose. Basically, column A has a unique identifier that either begins with an "M" or an "R." Column B either contains a person's name or a "-". Column C contains a dollar amount.
1. I need to be able to count all the cells in Column A that begin with an "M" AND have a "-" in Column B.
2. I need to be able to SUM the $ amounts in Column C ONLY for the items that begin with an "M" in Column A and have a "-" in Column B.
Is there any sort of formula that might do this? I have tried SUM arrays but as I said before, I would rather be able to use the whole column.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
