    Find multiple "text" criteria and return as ""Yes" in Matrix

    Hi,

    I have columns that tells me which courses specific people have passed.

    I would like this information to result in a matrix for better overview.

    Please have a look at the attached file.

    Try:

    =IF(COUNTIFS($A$4:$A$9,F$3,$B$4:$B$9,$E4,$C$4:$C$9,"Passed"),"Yes","")

    copied down and across.

    Note: You have Eric(Erik) spelled 2 different ways....
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Use this formula in F4 =IF(SUMPRODUCT(($A$4:$A$9=F$3)*($B$4:$B$9=$E4)*($C$4:$C$9="Passed"))=1,"Yes","No")

    As previous poster noted, Eric will not work since it's spelled differently

    I'm not sure why...both formulas that NBVC and I presented should have worked.

    I've attached the file I did the formula in

    It is probably because your excel version uses semi colons as argument separators instead of commas.

    Re: Find multiple "text" criteria and return as ""Yes" in Matrix

    Regarding:

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(($A$4:$A$9=F$3)*($B$4:$B$9=$E4)*($C$4:$C$9="Passed"))=1,"Yes","No")

    If I want to find $A$4:$A$9 in another sheet with name "matrix data", How do I add this to the formula?

    Try:

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT((Data!$A$4:$A$20=C$4)*(Data!$C$4:$H$20=$B6)*(Data!$D$4:$I$20="Passed")),"Yes","No")

    adjust ranges to suit and copy down and to next column(s).... note the last condition range is offset to the right by 1 column....

    replace commas with semi-colons if needed in your version.

    Note: Also Sumproduct is not the most efficient method for ranges so large. If you can add a column that identifies which header in the Data sheet the information is in, then you can use COUNTIFS which is much more efficient. See attached columns A, F and G in the Matis sheet.

    In F4, formula is:
