Hi Friendly People!
Hoping for some help.
Trying to get a countifs to work, if the reference number appears alongside any "1st" and any "2nd"
I've got it to the point that I can have the reference number and the "1st" working but not both.. any tips?
This is what i thought would work but it doesn't.
=COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,"*1st*",B:B,"*2nd*")
Reference Number Catergory
123456 1st train 0
123456 2nd train
234567 1st bus
234567 3rd train

COUNTIFS is an AND function in operational terms. Try this:
=SUMPRODUCT((A:A=A2)*((LEFT(B:B,3)="1st")+(LEFT(B:B,3)="2nd")))
+ works as an OR operator.
Please add manually the expected results of the formula to your sheet.
