COUNTIFS Array of different sizes

[trent172]

Hi,

I am trying to use countifs with two sets of criteria. The second argument needs to count if any values in a list (Sheet1!I1:I10) matches another list (Sheet2!A1:A3), where as the first argument just counts if a range (K1:K10) matches a single value (A2).

=countifs(Sheet1!K1:K10,A2,Sheet1!I1:I10,Sheet2!A1:A3)

Excel says this is not possible as the arrays are of different size.

Any idea of how to get around this? Thank you!

Two things might help ..

1. Update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)


2. Post some small but representative sample data and the expected results. MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
