    Hi all am new to using COUNTIFS. I am trying to make a formula to find all in column B that have the word ABOVE and that also have either and S, A, or P in column D.

    I tried =countifs(B5:B235,"Above",D5:D235,{"S","A","P"})

    Try it like this...

    =SUM(COUNTIFS(B5:B235,"Above",D5:D235,{"S","A","P"}))
