Count the Sumproduct of two arrays (one column and one row)

Hello

Could someone please explain how to count a sumproduct of two arrays? I need to count the number of cells that are not 0 after calculating a sumproduct.

The COUNTIFS formula below (see screenshot) does not work. #VALUE ! is returned.



It is just a testing sample. Of course, I would have to apply the formula to a far more complex dataset.

However, in this sample, the result should be:
A1*C1 = 1*0.5 = 0.5 > 0 = 1
A2*D1 = 1*0 = 0
A3*E1 = 0*0.25 = 0
A4*F1 = 1*0.85 = 0.85 > 0 = 1
A5*G1 = 0*0.88 = 0
A6*H1 = 1*0.46 = 0.46 >0 = 1

So the final result of the count should be 3.

How is this accomplished with a formula?

Thank you very much for the help.

Best,
Daniel

You'd do better to post more than one row of test data and to explain in words what you're trying to achieve.

I went just over it again and found out that it would also be possible to skip the SUMPRODUCT and just use a COUNTIFS with two criteria.

The value in the column as well as in the row has to unequal 0.

This would be the formula: =COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$6;"<>0";$C1:$H1;"<>0")

I would have to transpose the row data:

=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$6;"<>0";TRANSPOSE($C1:$H1);"<>0")

However, the TRANSPOSE does not seem to work in a COUNTIFS formula. Is there any other alternative to using the TRANSPOSE in COUNTIFS?
