    count number of cells in Column C that have a lesser or equal value to the adjacent cell

    I need to count the number of cells in Column C that have a lesser or equal value to the adjacent cell in column D excluding cells that have a 0 value in both columns.

    So the count for the following sequence would be 2
    c1 = 23 and d1 = 24
    C2 = 23 and D2 = 23
    C3 = 0 and D3 = 0

    I've tried using IF(AND and countif but I can't get the syntax right

    The formula I came up with was =IF(AND(C:C="0",D:D="0","0",countif(C:C"<="D:D)) which doesn't work

    Any help would be most welcome

    Re: count number of cells in Column C that have a lesser or equal value to the adjacent c

    =IF(AND(C1<>0,D1<>0),COUNTIF(C:C,"<" & D1),0)

    fill down
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.

    Re: count number of cells in Column C that have a lesser or equal value to the adjacent c

    =sum(if(C1:C100>D1:D100),1,0))-sum(if(c1:c100=0,1,0)*if(D1:D100=0,1,0))

    as an array formula (confirm with ctrl+shift+enter)

    apologies, it counts the 0's as they are less. THe array formula is a good way.

    =sum(($c$1:$c$26<d1)*($c$1:$c$26<>0)*($d$1:$d$26<>0)*1)

    Hi Yudlugar, Unfortunately that reported a function error (highlighting the D100 in the first range) However the array that Nathansav posted at 10.00a.m works fine.

    Thank you for your help.

    Try
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(C1:C1000<=D1:D100),SIGN(C1:C100*D1:D100),SIGN(C1:C100*D1:D100))
    _
    ...How to Cross-post politely...
    ..Wrap code by selecting the code and clicking the # or read this. Thank you.
