Countif Multiple Criteria

[preddy1110]

Hi,

Is the below possible to do please?

JOE, 12, Sickness
JOE, 11, Authorised
DAVE, 14, Sickness
DAVE, 14, Sickness
DAVE, 10, Authorised

Count how many Total Instances Sickness for JOE (1)
Count how many Total Instances Authorised for JOE (1)
Count how many Total Instances Sickness for DAVE (2)
Count how many Total Instances Authorised for DAVE (1)

I tried =COUNTIFS(A1:A5,"JOE",C1:C5,"Authorised",B1:B5) but it displays #NAME?

Thanks in advance for any help!

For 2003 and earlier versions use

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="JOE")*(C1:C5="Authorised"))

COUNTIFS isn't available in Excel 2003, which your profile states is what you are using. You can use SUMPRODUCT instead, like this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A$1:A$5="JOE")*(C$1:C$5="Authorised"),B$1:B$5)

Or you can put JOE in a cell and Authorised in another cell and use those cell references in the formula to make it more flexible (for your other criteria).

Hope this helps.

EDIT: my formula gives the total of column B entries that match, rather than the number of instances.

Sorry for the lack of feedback, this one worked for me =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="JOE")*(C1:C5="Authorised"))
