Count function
Hi
I have a formula that does not appear to work... basically if "EOD" appears in a range and the word "Yes" appears in the column next to it then count.
=COUNT(IF(C3:C58,C6),IF(B3:B58,B1))
c6 = eod
b1 = yes
I get 0 and when there is a instance where there is EOD and a yes next to it... it still appears as 0.
Pls help...

Hi Tally
Thanks for your question.
Do you want Excel to count when eod and yes appear in the same row (e.g. say yes is in B1 and eod is in C1), or if eod appears in one range (e.g. B1:B50) and yes appears in an adjacent range (e.g. C1:C50) but they are not necessary in the same row.
thanks

RE: count function
EOD is in one column...c3:c58
'Yes' is the column before b3:b58
c3 holds the value EOD
and b1 holds the value is yes
thanks

Hi Tally
I will attach an example file to see if this answers your question - basically what the formula is doing is looking in the 'database' area (B4:C29), for the criteria specified in the criteria area (which is the word yes and the word eod in the same row), and count every time this occurs within the database.
If you are using the DCOUNTA function then it is important that there are headings above the columns containing 'yes' and 'eod'; and these headings are also included in the criteria.
