COUNTIF or SUMPRODUCT

[SFC Traver]

Not sure which way to go on this. I have three columns (Race, Rank, Gender)
and I need to count how many white,sgt,males there are and put it in one cell
in another worksheet in the same book.

Have search the board and everything I've tried has not worked. If you
could help me with this, I can replace what I need.

Race column is D24000
Rank Column is E2:E4000
Gender Column is G2:G4000

Thanks!

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(D24000="white"),--(E2:E4000="sgt"),--(G2:G4000="male"))

Better to use cells to hold the criteria:

A1 = white
B1 = sgt
C1 = male

=SUMPRODUCT(--(D24000=A1),--(E2:E4000=B1),--(G2:G4000=C1))

Thanks. It worked. I tried to make it simplier for whomever takes over for me
by assigning names to the cell ranges and I keep getting the #NUM error.

I named the D column "REDCAT", E column "Grade", G column "Gender" and then
named each cell like you recommended (white, black, sgt, ssg, etc).

Then I replaced the formula you sent and it's not working. Can I do this?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(REDCAT=WHITE),--(Gender=M),--(Grade=Jr NCO))
