I Need Help with COUNTA and/or SUMPRODUCT

[Oskar]

Experts, I have this situation:

A B
ITEM DONE
1 ABC April
2 XYZ January
3 XYZ
4 ABC May
5 ABC

I want to know how many "ABC" have been completed; in other words, how many
"ABC" have non-blank cells in column B. The answer should be 2. Which formula
should I use. COUNTA, DCOUNTA or SUMPRODUCT?
I'm sorry for the silly question.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Not a silly question. Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="ABC")*(B1:B5<>""))

Hope this helps.
