» Counting Rows that Match Specific Criteria for Each Column
CATEGORY - Excel Formula and Function
VERSION - All Microsoft Excel Versions
Range A2:C7 contains the ID's, genders and ages of all the people in the room.
Cells F1:F2 contains the criteria according to which we would like to count.
As different counting criteria are required, we would vary the values stored in cells F1:F2.
What single formula will count the number of rows matching the variable criteria stored in cells F1:F2?
Solution:
Use the SUMPRODUCT function as shown in the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B7=F1)*(C2:C7=F2))

What if there were other things in the column besides just female, i.e. Female/Analyst, but I still wanted to find all the ones in with Female using the SUMPRODUCT. I tried using something like (B2:B7="*Female*"), but it doesnt like the use of the * in this situation. Any ideas?
