Count if two criteria match in Excel

by

This tutorial shows how to Count if two criteria match in Excel using the example below;

Formula

=COUNTIFS(range1,critera1,range2,critera2)

Explanation

If you want to count rows where two (or more) criteria match, you can use a formula based on the COUNTIFS function.

In the example shown, we want to count the number of orders with a color of “blue” and a quantity > 15. The formula we have in cell G7 is:

=COUNTIFS(B4:B11,"blue",C4:C11,">15")

How this formula works

The COUNTIFS function takes multiple criteria in pairs — each pair contains one range and the associated criteria for that range. To generate a count, all conditions must match. To add more conditions, just add another range / criteria pair.

Worked Example:   Cash denomination calculator in Excel

SUMPRODUCT alternative

You can also use the SUMPRODUCT function to count rows that match multiple conditions. the equivalent formula is:

=SUMPRODUCT((B4:B11="Blue")*(C4:C11>15))

SUMPRODUCT is more powerful and flexible than COUNTIFS, and it works with all Excel versions, but it is not as fast with larger sets of data.

Worked Example:   Count day of week between dates in Excel

Pivot table alternative

If you need to summarize  number of criteria combinations in a larger data set, you should consider pivot tables. Pivot tables are a fast and flexible reporting tool that can summarize data in many different ways.

Worked Example:   Highlight cells that contain one of many in Excel
