From: John on 4 Jun 2010 11:43 In column A I have set of characters that are entered into the rows below (i.e. Y, N, MRO) in column B I have another set of characters that are entered into the rows below (i.e. A, E, on so on). I want to count the instances when the rows in Column A contain a Y and the rows in column B contain an A. Is there an simple formula for doing this? Any help will be appreciated. -- John

From: Mike H on 4 Jun 2010 11:53 John. try this =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A20="Y")*(B1:B20="A")) -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
