Hi and thanks in advance for your help!

I have a workbook where I have a listing of "client codes". On another
sheet I have a listing of data that could have many lines for each client
code. I'm looking for a counting formula on the first sheet, that will match
the client code from the second sheet AND, count it only if another column
equals specific text.

so for cell A2 ws1, I want to count how many times on ws 2, there is a match
for A1 ws1, that also meets the criteria of column H = "H98"

It's difficult to explain, but I'm certain there is a way to have multiple
criteria met?

thanks again!!

Cathy

Assuming your 2nd sheet is called Sheet2, and your first sheet (Sheet1) has a
client code in A2, to do your count, type the following formula in the same
row (whatever column, I used B)
B2: =SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$100=$A2),--(Sheet2!$H$2:$H$100="H98"))
you could obviously set a different cell for your second criteria, and the 2
ranges, that I have to 100, would need to be expanded to whatever row to meet
your needs on sheet 2.

meets the criteria of column H = "H98"

Is "H98" a text code or is it a cell reference?

Try something like this where "H98" is a text code:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!A2:A100=A2),--(Sheet2!H2:H100="H98"))

John:

thanks for your quick response. I copied this formula into the cell where I
want the answer and replaced the spread so this is what my formula now looks
like:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Production!A:A=A5),--(Production!J:J="H98"))

the result is showing #NUM!

I don't want to sound too ignorant about formulas, but I'm not sure what the
-- implies? or am I to replace them with a specific keystroke?

thanks again

Unless you're using Excel 2007 you *can't* use entire coulmns as range
references. Try using a specific range.

You can't use full-column references with SUMPRODUCT if you have Excel
2003 or earlier, so change the ranges to suit the extent of your data.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, what Biff and Pete said. Remember, when you give the specific ranges,
they must be of equal length, and you want to be sure to use the $ for column
and row in the named ranges (especially the row).
