Count If - please help

[Guest]

Hallo
I am trying to do a count if - possible array formula for the following

In cells B2:b10 there are names of people
In cells C2:c10 there are ages 1 to 5

I want to count the number of people whose name is "Ben" and their age is great than 10

i tried {=count(if(b2:b10="Ben",if(c2:c10>10,c2:c10,0),0))}
but it doesn't seem to be working

Thanks
Pete

Put in D2 =B2&C2 and then drag fill down

Then use that range

=COUNTIF(D2:D10,"Ben10")

Hi

The DCOUNT or DCOUNTA is ideal for this and better than an array formula in many ways.

Let's say you have the headings "Names" and "Ages", copy these to say cells D1:E1 in D2 put "Ben" and in E2 put 10

=DCOUNTA(A1:B500,"Names",D1:E2)

To see some more uses of these functions you can download some examples here:

Thanks, Pete.

Maybe, this is easier:
=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B10="Ben")*(C2:C10>10))
