Thread: countif

I am trying to count the number of cells in column B="large" when the
condition in column A="week1". I tried the formula below and it counted all
the "week1"s along with the "large". Any Ideas?

=COUNTIF(A3:A12,"week1")+COUNTIF(B3:B12,"large")

Hi Jacob,

You know...

That COUNTIFS in 2007 seems a lot more intuitive than the SUMPRODUCT of
2003.

If you check out HELP for SUMPRODUCT in 2003 it does not even get you near
to the solution I offered for the question posed.

Only exposure to this group did I know this would work, but I can see I
might more readily grasp the 2007 'splaning of COUNTIFS in 2007. (I
think...<bg>)

Not ready to upgrade yet, probably wait until 2010 makes a bigger splash.

Regards,
Howard
