How to work with COUNTIF with multiple criteria
Requirement:
The user is looking for a formula solution to return a line count for one of three groups that meet one of four status in any one of four categories.
| A | B | C | D | E | F | |
| 1 | Name |
Cat1 |
Cat2 |
Cat3 |
Cat4 |
Group |
| 2 | Fred | L | C | P | F | B |
| 3 | Harry | I | P | C | E | S |
| 4 | Jim | N | S | N | N | R |
| 5 | Stuart | N | N | I | P | R |
| 6 |
So, How many lines contain "R" in column F, that have either "C" or "P" or "I" or "F" in columns B or C or D or E?
The answer for the above example should be 1.
The formula the user would rework to query the same for Groups "B" and "S".
Solution:
=SUMPRODUCT((F2:F5="R")*(MMULT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2:E5,{"C","P","I","F"},0))),{1;1;1;1})>0))
