How do I count to different variables in excel

[Guest]

Hi I am try to use a countif command to display results of 2 diferent
variables
I have two coloums b and d and want to display the results as a count if b =
2c and d = adventure

Switch to DCOUNT instead. It's a bit more complex, but also more powerful.
You'll need a set of cells to form the criteria, and you're therefore able to
specify criteria for multiple columns at the same time.

Jon,

Not sure what you mean by 2c(?). Twice the value of column C, or the string "2c" Anyway, one of
these should help:

=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B100=2*C1:C100)*(D1100 = "Adventure"))
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B100="2c")*(D1100 = "Adventure"))

HTH,

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B:B="2c"),--(D="adventure"))
