Need a Formula

Basically, I have a spreadsheet where there's a ton of data and I need to have a formula that searches through one column row by row, then goes to another column on the same row if the first one returns a certain value. Then, once in the second column, I want it to add a number to a count if that reurns a certain value.

I realize this may sound complicated, so I will put some sample data below.

1 2 3

A Low Yes Yes
B Middle No Yes
C High Yes Yes
D Low No No
E High Yes No
F Low No Yes
G Middle No No


Now, what I need to be able to do is have the formula search through column 1 until it sees "Low", then jump to column 3 on the same row and see if that says "Yes", and if so, count the number. Thus, in this example, I want the formula to return 2, because there are two places (Row A and Row F)where Column 1 contains "Low" and Column 3 contains "Yes". Then, I want to repeat this formula for other columns.

I tried doing it with Countif, but I could only make that work if it was one column. If you need any more info, feel free to ask.

Sure..

Sumproduct - obviously multiplies things up...


--(B1:B100="Low")

B1:B100="Low" would return "True","False","False","True".....

the -- turns it into 1 for true and 0 for false...

i.e it returns 1,0,0,1....

multiply that by the result of ... --(D1:D100="Yes")
(1,1,1,0...)

is 1 * 1
0*1
0*1
1*0

etc

Basically returning a 1 every time both values are true - or returning 0 otherwise

Then it adds all the 1's...
