[mso] Re: Excel something like countif

Use an array formula for this.

Here's my mini tutorial on array formulas...it should show you how to do
this easily:

Subject: [mso] Excel something like countif

I know there's a way to do this, I just don't remember it, and I don't  
remember enough to ask the help file a smart question.

Here's what I need to do.  I have a spreadsheet in which I am keeping  
attendance at our Boys & Girls Club.  I have a sneaking suspicion that  
while our attendence is going up, we are losing our boys.  So, right now,  
I use countif to tell me the total of kids on a day (there is a column for  
a day and there are x's if they are there--Rows are kids' names).  Below  
that count, though, I want to know how many boys and how many girls.  So,  
if a row has an x on it, instead of counting just then, I want it to go  
look at say, column D and count if column d (the column for boy/girl) has  
a "b" in it AND column AW (the column for the given day) has an "x".  I'm  
imagining two rows underneath the total of the days--one row for boys and  
one row for girls.

Thanks in advance,
Kathie
