    Smile Countif for more than one condition

    Hi All,

    I have a table with 2 columns - Gender & Age. Now, suppose I want to know the number of Males in the table with age greater than 14, how do I do that?

    Can a Countif formula be used for more than one condition or is there some other formula? I want to achieve it with the help of some formula. I think it should be easy but it is not striking me.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Karan

    Hello karan, you can use SUMPRODUCT function, something like this

    =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100="Male")*(B2:B100>14))

    adjust ranges as required.....

    Hi daddylonglegs,

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    I have seen numerous applications of the SUMPRODUCT function. How do I get to know all its advanced applications? I know there is a lot to explore in it. And, as far as COUNTIF is concerned, can it be used for more than one condition?

    Regards,
    Karan

    You can only use COUNTIF for one condition so SUMPRODUCT is the most common way to perform "multiconditional" counting and/or summing. Look here for Bob Phillips excellent SUMPRODUCT explanation/discussion

    Excel 2007 has COUNTIFS and SUMIFS function which allow more than one condition.
