Identify ID's meeting multiple criteria (Condition#1: Corn,Tomato - Cndition#2 starts with "P"

This is probably easier than I think but at 4:30 in the morning not thinking clearly.

 

Test#1 = ID = "Corn" and "Tomato"
Test #2 = ID = (starts with "P")
Both test conditions should return a "T" or "F" result (Boolean is OK)

  • Hi, rcriceinc

     

    For Test Condition 1, apply Detlef_Lewin 's formula

     

    =IF(SUM(COUNTIFS([ID],[@ID],[Condition],{"Tomato";"Corn"}))>1,"T","F")

    For Test Condition 2, use this.

     

    =IF(COUNTIFS([ID],[@ID],[Condition],"P*")>=1,"T","F")

    Hope both will solve your problem.

    Does not work, remember, the ID values occur multiple times with different conditions and I want to identify ID's only where both conditions are true, not ID's where either condition is =T. Same thing for the second one (All = "P" start).

      Sorry, you were not very clear.

       

      =AND(OR(A2="Corn",A2="Tomato"),LEFT(A2)="P")

        Don't know how to be more clear. The "And" in test #1 should have been clear. Both conditions must exist before a "T" result is returned. If both conditions are not true, then return "F".

         

        Test#1 = ID = "Corn" and "Tomato"
        test condition should return a "T" or "F" result (Boolean is OK) 

         

        Treat test#2 seperately using the same data.

         

        EX:

        ID#1 occurs multiple times with multiple conditions.

        Return "F" unless an ID has instances with both Corn and Tomato
