    Using The Countifs Function With Three Criteria

    Hello Excel Forum Community!
    I fear I've hit my Excel knowledge threshold and would appreciate any help/insight you could provide!!

    I have a spreadsheet with three columns that I'm trying to scrutinize

    First column = drug
    Second column = ship date
    Third column = courier service type (i.e. overnight, priority overnight)

    The spreadsheet has captured all the drugs dispensed within the first quarter of this year.

    Here's an example of a formula I'm using:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    What I'd like to do is create a formula which says, 'for every time Betaseron was dispensed on a Friday in this date range and is tied to a priority overnight service type, provide a count'

    The formula above only evaluates for two of the three criteria and I'm having a brutal time attempting to incorporate the third

    Thanks in advance for your time and attention to this post!!
    p.s. It'd probably be helpful if I could attach the spreadsheet, but it contains protected health information. I'm sorry if this makes things more difficult

    The only think I can think of it to add a column that uses the function =WEEKDAY(Your Date Cell). This will give you a number between 1 and 7. Then you can use the COUNIFS to check for the value for Friday (default values is 6) in the new column.

    Maybe SUMPRODUCT in conjunction with the WEEKDAY as above.
    Should save you creating a new column

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
