Excel Countifs return true if OR. (?)
Hi,
I was sure Countifs counted with AND, when all logical test was true. But This one list if one of the conditions is met.
=Countifs(B4:B9;B2;C4:C9;E4:E9)
Any excplanation to that?
Example is attached.
Best Regards

As you have found, COUNTIFS is not the correct function for this. COUNTIFS(C4:C9,E4:E9) compares every cell in C4:C9 with every cell in E4:E9 instead of C4 with E4, C5 with E5 etc.
Your SUMPRODUCT formula is the one to use.
