    COUNTIFS Across multiple worksheets

    Hi all,

    New to the forum and an average exceller (is that a word!?!). I am having a problem getting my formula to return a result. The basics are that I would like a count of a specific set of data in a section of a workbook. So in column 'A' I am searching for 'TextA' but this also has to have 'TextB' in column C. The problem is I have 12 consecutive monthly worksheets I would like to pull this data from and I only really want to write one formula. I can (and started to) use the countifs function plus countifs function etc referencing each worksheet individually but this seems long winded. I have read on this forum that I can use sumproduct combined with countifs but I can't seem to get it right. I have listed my formula for a single sheet countifs function below, but I don't know how or if to include the sumproduct function to reference the rest of the monthly worksheets. The other thing I should mention is that there are other worksheets too, so it would need to be specific to this range, but they are consecutive within the workbook.

    =COUNTIFS('Jan 12'!A:A,"=TextA",'Jan 12'!C:C,"=TextB")
    Any help would be very gratefully received!

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Hi,

    Go to Name Manager and create a new name, Sheets say, as a comma-separated list of all the relevant tab names, e.g.:

    ={"Jan 12","Feb 12","Mar 12","Apr 12"}

    (Note the curly brackets.)

    Your formula is then:

    =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'"&Sheets&"'!A:A"),"=TextA",INDIRECT("'"&Sheets&"'!C:C"),"=TextB"))
