    Trying to count the number of cells that meet two sets of Criteria

    So I'm trying to fill in the last column.

    I need to know how many values (in the second column) in each year exceed number in the 80% column. I have a long list of dates going to 2013 or so.


    Year Value Date
    1957 467 01/10/1957 Year 80% of Max Number of Days when Value is greater than 80% of Max
    1957 467 02/10/1957 1957 582.4
    1957 467 03/10/1957 1958 1904
    1957 476 04/10/1957 1959 1600
    1957 487 05/10/1957 1960 3328
    1957 496 06/10/1957 1961 1472
    1957 501 07/10/1957 1962 1672
    1957 535 08/10/1957 1963 1864
    1957 541 09/10/1957 1964 1304
    1957 544 10/10/1957 1965 3080
    1957 524 11/10/1957 1966 1600
    1957 510 12/10/1957 1967 1440
    1957 510 13/10/1957 1968 1184
    1957 521 14/10/1957 1969 2224
    1957 530 15/10/1957 1970 3080
    1957 544 16/10/1957 1971 3760
    1957 561 17/10/1957 1972 2896
    1957 586 18/10/1957 1973 2008
    1957 626 19/10/1957 1974 2376

    1957 688 22/10/1957 1977 2240
    1957 651 23/10/1957 1978 1912
    1957 623 24/10/1957 1979 2320

    Hi,

    Since you still have the older XL2003 you'll need a SUMPRODUCT() function rather than the arguably simpler COUNTIFS() function that was introduced for XL 2007+

    So in F3 copied down

    Countifs should work with 2007 if I remember correctly.

    No need for the equal sign in the criteria arguments. Testing for equality is the default condition.

    =COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$25,D3,$B$2:$B$25,">"&E3)

    Hi,

    Just wondering but did you change your profile to indicate you had XL 2007 rather than XL2003 since clearly and perhaps mistakenly I thought you only had XL2003 and hence mentioned the SUMPRODUCT would be needed rather than the COUNTIFS which I mentioned.

    You're correct of course Tony. I had a lot going on and just didn't take the = out before posting.
