COUNTIF

[Guest]

Let's say I have a range of data from A1:A25 and I want to use the COUNTIF
function to count how many times 2 different conditions fall within this
range. The conditions are "Red" and "Blue" - What would the formula be? I'm
assuming I use the COUNTIF function.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated, Karen

And these are the words Red and Blue--not the actual colors, right?

=sum(countif(a1:a25,{"Red","Blue"}))

or you could each separately:

=countif(a1:a25,"Red") + countif(a1:a25,"blue")

Hi Karen

In the cell where you want result to be type...

If you want the individual total..

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Red")

In next another totla cell =COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Blue")

Or together

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Red")+COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Blue")

Hope this helps,

Gav.

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Red")
=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Blue")

Try...

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Red")+COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Blue")

or

=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A25,{"Red","Blue"}))

Hope this helps!

=SUMPRODUCT(N(A1:A25={"Blue","Red"}))

Yes, these are the words
Thanks

=sum(countif(a1:a25,{"Red","Blue"}))

=countif(a1:a25,"Red") + countif(a1:a25,"blue")

That didn't work for me.

I bet you meant:
=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A25,{"Red","Blue"}))
(not an array formula)

 

[Alan Beban]

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Red")
=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"Blue")

Or simply =COUNTIF(A1:A25,{"Red","Blue"}) array entered into a
two-column row.

No; I meant =COUNTIF(A1:A25,{"Red","Blue"}) array entered.

Excel 2002. What version are you using?

Note that I was responding to Gary's Student (who was proposing one
result for each color), not proposing a formula to return the sum.

xl2003.

If I select the cell and highlight the formula in the formulabar, then hit F9, I
see:
={2,1}

with two Red's and one Blue in A1:A25

If there are no Red's in the range, I see 0 in the cell.

If I do the same thing (evaluate the formula), I see:
={0,1}
