Hi, I am trying to create an array formula that does the following:

Counts the number of times "Expression of wish" appears in 1 column and then "p" or "f" appears in another.

So if I get Expression of wish appearing and P it will count it

If in another row Expression of wish appears and F appears it will also count it

This is as far as I have got, can anybody help?

=SUM((January!B2:B3="expression of wish")*(January!F2:F3="p"))

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Welcome to the Board!

Try:

=SUM((January!B2:B3="expression of wish")*((January!F2:F3="p")+(January!F2:F3="f")))

This needs to be entered with control+shift+enter and not just enter.

Hope that helps.

Welcome to the board.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(January!B2:B3="Expression of wish"),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(January!F2:F3,{"p","f"},0))))

Would any instance of "Expression of wish" and P or F always occur on the same row? ie A1 and B1
