Count If Function

[Guest]

I am trying to write a formula to return a count if cell a1 equals "value a"
and cell a2 is not blank. I have tried various combinations of countif,
if(and..., counta, and count formulas with no success! Can anyone assist me
with creating a formula?

Thanks-
Michele

Hi Michele

one option
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1="a"),--(A2<>""))

check out

for details on how this function works

try
=sumproduct(--(A1:Z1="value a"),--(A2:Z2<>""))
assuming you want rows checked
