    COUNTIFS with a range of values for criteria

    I need to use the COUNTIFS function in this manner:

    I have three items I want to look at and if all three match, then count it. However, the third criteria is any item from a list.

    Criteria1 = Account Manager Name
    Criteria2 = Forecast Stage
    Criteria3 = Campaign1 or Campaign2 or Campaign3, etc.

    The first two criteria are easy, but the third one is more difficult. Any marketing campaign on a list I created on another sheet will satisfy the criteria. I will probably add items to the list in the future, so I don't want to hard code it.

    Any suggestions?

    G'day sslack88,

    and welcome to the forum.

    ..................will probably add items to the list in the future, so I don't want to hard code it.

    Any suggestions?
    Use a cell reference for the last citeria and that cell has a drop down list (data validation).

    The drop down list doesn't work because even though it is a list, there can only be one item in that cell. I need it to pass the criteria if it matches ANY of the campaign names, not just a single value.

    Thanks for the reply, Any other suggestions?

    G'day

    Just a short and sweet message.

    Another suggestion is use a wildcard

    Criteria3 = Campaign*

    If that doesn't work supply an example of what are trying to achieve.

    Cheers
