    Two references and two answers

    Hi all, I'm trying to figure this out and would be greatful if someone knows how to do this:

    I have to col B with a date and col C with a name - col D and E contain an action taken by col C. I want to reference the date and the name with these two actions and count how many times Name has taken certain actions on which date. Attached a sample sheet to show what I mean.

    Cheers

    hi Jafs. something like this in J5 maybe?
    =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$37,$I5,$D$2:$D$37,J$4,$C$2:$C$37,"Mike")

    not sure how your name varies. if you have just the first name, this would work too:
    =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$37,$I5,$D$2:$D$37,J$4,$C$2:$C$37,LEFT($J$3,FIND(" ",$J$3)-1))

    the 2 formulas above can be copied to K5. for L5, change the reference to range Column E instead:
    =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$37,$I5,$E$2:$E$37,L$4,$C$2:$C$37,LEFT($J$3,FIND(" ",$J$3)-1))

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Put this in J5:

    =COUNTIFS($B:$B,$I5,$C:$C,"Mike",$D:$D,J$4)

    and copy it to K5:L5. The formula in L5 needs a slight amendment to the range:

    =COUNTIFS($B:$B,$I5,$C:$C,"Mike",$E:$E,L$4)

    The formula can be copied down if you put other dates in column I.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Enter this formula in cell J5 and copy across to the right:

    =SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$B$37=$I5)*($C$2:$C$37=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE($J$3,"stats","")))*($D$2:$E$37=J4))
