Countif / not giving results I require

[Ladurande]

I wish to count the number of times 2 names appear in in a column.

I attach a small table showing what I require but the wrong result I keep getting.

Attached file Test shows data etc

Welcome to the forum.

Can I confirm first that your Excel is the old 2010 version?

No it's Excel 2021

OK - please update your forum profile.

In C23 copied across:

=IF(COUNTA(FILTER(Table1[Column1],(Table1[Column1]="Alf")+(Table1[Column1]="Andy")))>1,1,0)

Thanks Ali works fine. Was using formula =Countif(C17:c20,"alf")+countif(c17:20,"Andy2).

That worked for the column when both names were there but in others would give a tue if only 1 name wa in that column.

Once again thanks can now get my golf schedule sorted !!!

You still need to update your forum profile to Excel 2021, please.
