Sumif formula error

[fekka]

Hi all,
I am trying to get a count of all people who match two variables.
First is their work type being level 1, 2 or 3) and finally whether they are full time or part time.

This is the current formula I have and it was working, but now its not.

=SUM(IF($F$9:$F$1946=$U2,IF($G$9:$G$1946=W$1,1,0),0))

Column F is made up of Type (1,2 or 3)
Column G is made up of hours (FT or PT)
W1 = FT, UT = 1 (for this example)

Currently the error I am getting is #value

Thanks for having a look

Your formula is syntactically correct but did you enter it as an array formula with the key combination of CTRL, SHIFT, ENTER?

You said the formula used to work. Did you maybe edit it and forget to re-enter as an array?

What version of Excel are you using?

Are there any #VALUE! errors in any of the ranges?

Try substituting sum with count. If your using excel 2007 or later theres a formula called countifs which allows you to make a count with more than 1 criteria which should suit you

I am using Excel 2003, and I didn't enter it as an array formula.
The formula works in this format

{=SUM(IF($F$9:$F$1936=$U2,IF($G$9:$G$1936=W$1,1,0),0))}

but as soon as go into the formula and enter out, it fails and I can't get the original data back.

Tried COUNT (as per scottylad2) however that just returned zeros

Thanks

I'm not sure what that highlighted portion means.

Try this normally entered formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--($F$9:$F$1936=$U2),--($G$9:$G$1936=W$1))

Excel Workbook
	F	G	H	I
4	1	FT	1	FT
5	2	FT
6	3	FT	3
7	2	FT	3
8	2	PT	3
9	1	PT
10	1	PT
11	3	FT
12	3	PT
13	3	FT
14	1	FT
15	3	PT
16	3	PT
17	2	PT
18	1	FT
19	1	PT
Sheet1

As Bif said, the Sum(If and the Count(IF are both array formulas, which means each time you go into and edit the formula you will need to re enter the formula cell with ctrl + shift + enter not just enter. The sumproduct option can handle arrays though and only needs entered in the usual way, ie press enter
