SumProduct Function

[Guest]

Anybody have any idea how to solve a double countif problem.

eg. Row 1 ---> O B A C O D O
Row 2 ---> D A W M S D D A A
Row 3 ---> 1 2 4 3 2 1 4 3 1

I need to do a count based on the conditions of having an "O" in row#1 and also that "O" observation being an "D" in row#2. In the simpliest case, =countif(row1,"=O") would do the job, but I don't know how to solve the problem when Row2 is introduced. Only idea is to insert another row with a formula serving as a filter.

Anybody have any ideas using formuls or VB code to solve the problem. Many thanks to all!

Two earlier people were able to provide the very helpful suggestion (that worked) of using:

=sumproduct((A1:Z1="O")*(A2:Z2="D")

One further wrinkle, what if Row #3 was introduced and I wanted to sum up those value. Case in example, I wanted to find the sum of all instance of "O" in row1 & "D" in row2 and in such a case, add up the total values in row#3 the joint case

eg. Row 1 ---> O B A C O D O
Row 2 ---> D A W M S D D A A
Row 3 ---> 1 2 4 3 2 1 4 3 1

Thanks.

Hi Gary
just use the previous SUMPRODUCT formula with an added parameter:
=sumproduct((A1:Z1="O")*(A2:Z2="D"),A3:Z3)

One way

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:M2&A3:M3="OD")*A4:M4)
