Formula Adjustment

[XLFanatico]

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$3:$A$3496="may")*($G$3:$G$3496="alexis")*($I$3:$I$3496={"visit","pending","services" ,"agreement"}))
This formula works very well.
However the 3rd part may (visit,pending,services,agreement) may change
by month, either adding another word or taking off for example "services",
or both.
The 3rd part of the formula (visit,pending,services...) is in a list(another
sheet),
I just took those words an assigned a range tha I called "myrange".
Q. Is it possible to insert "myrange" in this FORMULA in order to avoid
writting all the words everytime I do the update?
THANK YOU.

Say we have in A1 thru B10:

non-greek 1
alpha 1
beta 1
non-greek 1
non-greek 1
non-greek 1
non-greek 1
non-greek 1
non-greek 1
non-greek 1

Either formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10=qwerty)*(B1:B10=1))
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10={"alpha","beta","gamma","delta"})*(B1:B10=1))

will product the same result: 2
if qwerty is a Defined Name:
={"alpha","beta","gamma","delta"}


The advantage to using the Defined Name is that only qwerty need be modified
rather than every formula that uses qwerty.

Try...

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$3:$A$3496="may"),--($G$3:$G$3496="alexis"),--ISNUMBER(M
ATCH($I$3:$I$3496,MyRange,0)))

Yes it works good.
Thanks.

Try...

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$3:$A$3496="may"),--($G$3:$G$3496="alexis"),--ISNUMBER(M
ATCH($I$3:$I$3496,MyRange,0)))

Your formula is good, but is me doing something that's apparently wrong.
