    Counting multiple instances.

    Hey, I'm an excel novice and could really do with some help please. I need to calculate how many instances there are of one Criteria in one column and two in another column as one formula. Basically trying to figure out how many approved docs I have at on two types of status'. In one column I have whetheritis approved or not and another tells me all the different status of the doc. Hope that makes sense...

    As an example where you want to count how many instances of "Approved" in Column A

    =COUNTIF(A:A,"Approved")

    Re: Counting multiple instances.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Maybe this:

    =SUM(COUNTIFS(B:B,{"IFU","IFC"},C:C,"AC"))
