CountIF Issue

[Myst1972]

Good Evening,
I am working on a spreadsheet that I am using "If, And, Countifs" function for two columns of data. Column A has location numbers and Column B has "order type" information. I need to identify the number of Location occurences in Column A and a specific Order Type in Column B.
If there is more than 1 Location occurence in Column A, and if Column B meets the specific criteria, I need to ignore only 1 occurence of any previous rows that meet the same Location criteria in Column A, but is a different order type in Column B, resulting in a 1 for all occurences under Order_Type 1 but 1 and 0 for Order_Type2.

The formula I am using is =IF(Location="","",IF(AND(Order_Type1=1,COUNTIF(Location,Location)>1,COUNTIFS(Location,Location,Order_Type2,1)=1),0,1)). This works ok if there are only 2 location occurences, but for 3 or more location occurences, I get a 0 result for all Order_Type1 occurences.

I am using Excel 2007 with Windows XP. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the Board!

You might want to post an example of what you've got. Check out the HTML Maker link in my sig for how.

If column A has 2 or more occurences, with 1 occurence of Order_Type2 in Column B, I need to return a result of 0 for 1 Order_Type1 in Column C, and 1's for all other Order_Type1 occurences in Column C.

Have you tried a Pivot Table?

 

[Myst1972]

A pivot table would not provide the solution I am looking for. It would be a lot easier that way though.
