    if positive number in one range countif specific value in another range

    Hello,

    I have a problem finding a formula for this scenario:

    example data:

    Quantity Color
    1 white
    -1 white
    1 black
    1 white

    in one cell, if value in column Quantity is positive I want to count number of color white in column Color. I came up with this formula:

    =IF(Quantity>0; COUNTIF(Color; "=white")

    but this formula does not seem to be working (I use column names as a substitute of range here for simplicity).


    I hope I explained my problem clearly.
    Anyone has any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Try it like this...

    =COUNTIFS(Quantity,">0",Color,"White")

    Or, you may have to use semi-colons:

    =COUNTIFS(Quantity;">0";Color;"White")
