Formula help

[wildbio]

I need a formula that will return a value in a different column but the same row. ie. if any cell in column A contains the text "YES", return the contents (text) in the corresponding row of column C. All rows of column A will be filled and only some of column C.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100="Yes"),--(B1:B100="X"))

I need a formula to scan two columns that looks something like this
No X
Yes X
Yes
No X
Yes X
I need it to return the number 2 because there are two Yes's in the first column that have corresponding Xs in the second column.

There is no way I would have guessed that is what you wanted from your previous descriptions. For future question you might ask in the future... including a before and after example along with your description is always helpful. Assuming your two columns are A and C, give this formula a try...

=SUMPRODUCT(('Sheet 1'!A1:A1000="yes")*('Sheet 1'!C1:C1000="x"))

Change the two ranges to suit your data and make them large enough to cover all your present and possible future data (the row ranges for both need to be identical).

Thanks VoG, that nailed it. Sorry about the confusing request.
