Hello,

I'm trying to use the following formula:

=COUNTIF(D2,"Vanilla")+COUNTIF(D2,"BlueBerry")+COUNTIF(D2,"Cherry")

I also would like to add if cell (D2) is blank, then use the data in Cell (C2). I'm not sure how to write that part of the formula.

Example Data Sheet:

[TABLE="width: 253"]
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD] C[/TD]
[TD] D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]

[TD]Cherry[/TD]

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Why are you using COUNTIF if you are just ever looking at one single cell at a time?
Also, will both columns C and D ever both be populated at the same time?

If not, maybe this will give you what you want:
Code:
=IF(OR(C2&D2="Vanilla",C2&D2="Blueberry",C2&D2="Cherry"),1,0)
