COUNT statement based on 2 criteria

[JayUK]

Hi

I am trying to put a formula into a worksheet that will count the number of cells, on a separate worksheet, which meet two criteria - namely place name and type.

I have tried the following;

=SUM(('Weekly Referrals '!B:B="Barwood&quot*('Weekly Referrals '!E:E="S&quot)

All I get from the result is 0.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Jay

Use the DCOUNT(database,field,criteria) function.

Jay,

You can probably use your formula, provided you enter it as an array formula (press Ctrl-Enter after entering the formula, instead of Enter)
DCOUNT is better, because it is faster. Array formulas tend to get very slow if you have a lot of data.

If you have hassle with use of DCount can add another column in parallel, eg in G1 put
=AND(B1="Barwood",E1="S&quot.

Then where you want the total use
=Countif(G1:Gx,TRUE)

Jay,
Perhaps it is little bit late. But just look at thread770-85502
