COUNTIFS using criteria from both column A and B
I can't figure out how to combine the formulas =COUNTIF(B:B,"IHC*")+COUNTIF(B:B,"SS*") and =COUNTIFS(A:A,">1330",A:A,"<1431") I want to only count the criteria in column A if the criteria in colu...

Hi Anna,
You probably need to do 2 COUNTIFS given you want to count IHC* or SS*

Anna, that is the imitation of OR condition. In brief, COUNTIFS on array of conditions also generates an array, after that you just take the sum of it. Like SUM({5,7})=12
