Working with Formulas and Functions
Using And criteria
An And criterion counts cells if all specified conditions are met. A common example is a formula that
counts the number of values that fall within a numerical range. For example, you may want to count cells
that contain a value greater than 100 and less than or equal to 200. For this example, the new COUNTIFS
function will do the job:
=COUNTIFS(Amount,”>100”,Amount,”100”,Table1[Amount],”100”)-COUNTIF(Amount,”>200”)
The formula counts the number of values that are great than 100 and then subtracts the number of values
that are greater than or equal to 200. The result is the number of cells that contain a value greater than 100
and less than or equal to 200. This formula can be confusing because the formula refers to a condition
“>200” even though the goal is to count values that are less than or equal to 200. Yet another alternate
technique is to use an array formula, like the one that follows. You may find it easier to create this type of
formula:
{=SUM((Amount>100)*(Amount1000”)
An alternative formula, which works with all versions of Excel, uses the SUMPRODUCT function. The following
formula returns the same result as the previous formula.
=SUMPRODUCT((Month=”January”)*(SalesRep=”Brooks”)*(Amount>1000))
