I need to be able to count an item if a key word is in a different columns.

ex: Count the cells that contain "F17000" (Columns B & C) only if it is "Out
of Warranty" (Column A). Should return the value 2

Column A Column B Column C
Row 1 In Warranty F17000 1085730
Row 2 Out Of Warranty 1085730 F17000
Row 3 Out Of Warranty F17000 1085730


Thanks
 
Hi,

Try
=SUMPRODUCT(--(((B1:B100="F17000")+(C1:C100="F17000"))>0),--(A1:A100="Out of
Warranty"))
 
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B100="F17000")*(A1:A100="Out of
Warranty"))+SUMPRODUCT((C1:C100="F17000")*(A1:A100="Out of Warranty"))
 
Hi,

You can also use the following array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

SUM(IF(((B1:B3="F17000")+(C1:C3="F17000"))*(A1:A3="Out of Warranty"),1))

Ouch!! & thanks!

Your SUMPRODUCT() handles that case correctly.

This is why, whenever I face complicated criteria, I run away and hide
behind a helper column.
