Count / Sumproduct Help

[MJLG85]

Hello

I am trying to write a formula that will go through a column of numbers/receipt codes and will count how many times a set first two numbers appear (as the first two numbers determine a location)


any help would be appreceiated as I am struggling to write this forumla correctly

Thanks

Which column range?

And care to provide an example of what must be counted?

It will be Column I - Below is a lit of example numbers

[TABLE="width: 186"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]250013475[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]90122975[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]170037827[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]90122435[/TD]

[TR]
[TD]90122799[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]120067617[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody><colgroup><col></colgroup>[/TABLE]

And you have an example of what must be counted?

So it would be that column... how many times '90' appeared in the column

I have this one which is going through the column and everytime 90 appears in I its adding the value of it

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(Data!$I$2:$I$1000,2)=LEFT(B2,2))*Data!$J$2:$J$1000)

but I just need to know how many times 90 appears in column I


I just can't figure out how to just do a count of that column, I feel like its something obvious but i just cant see it

=sumproduct(--isnumber(search(90,I2:I1000)))

is testing the first two digits in I which equals to the first two digits of B2 and summing corresponding J values.

Counting the occurrences of the first two digit number of B2 as first two digits in I...

SUMPRODUCT(((LEFT(data!$I$2:$I$1000,2)=LEFT(B2,2))+0))

Thank you... this works great!
