COUNTIFS for multiple ranges

Hi 

 

I'm struggling to complete this formula.

I need to count to the total quantity of cells that have a value but only if they hit all 3 requirements. 

E.g.

IF Column A says 'Douglas' and Column B is less than 499, count total value of cells between C2:F1000

I have attached an example table below.

I have got as far as 

=COUNTIFS(A2:A1000,"Douglas",B2:B1000,">499",C2:C1000,"*")

However, I need the total value of range C2:F1000. If I input this range the formula fails.

Any assistance is appreciated! Thank you

    A simple technique is 

    =   COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$1000, "Douglas", $B$2:$B$1000, "<499", $C$2:$C$1000, "*")
      + COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$1000, "Douglas", $B$2:$B$1000, "<499", $D$2:$D$1000, "*")
      + COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$1000, "Douglas", $B$2:$B$1000, "<499", $E$2:$E$1000, "*")
      + COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$1000, "Douglas", $B$2:$B$1000, "<499", $F$2:$F$1000, "*")

    (Yes, it works without the extra spaces and even if you don't break it into multiple lines.)  See the attached workbook for more information.

    Try:

    =sum( (A2:A1000="Douglas")*(B2:B1000>499)*( (C2:C1000<>"")+(D2:D1000<>"")+(E2:E1000<>"")+(F2:F1000<>"") >0) )
