Formula result not displaying on worksheet

The result of a Count(IF . . .) formula is showing in the function arguments
box, but not on the actual worksheet. How do you resolve this so the formul
result displays on the worksheet. The formula I used was
=COUNT(IF((A2:A11="South")*(C2:C11="Meat"),D2:D11)). On the worksheet, the
result shows as 0. But when I click on the "More Functions" drop down on the
toolbar, to see the function arguments, the correct result of "3" shows. How
do I get it show on the actual worksheet?

Could be that you didn't enter using ctrl+shift+enter
=sumproduct((A2:A11="South")*(C2:C11="Meat"),D2:D11)
This should give your sum without array entering.

That particular formula needs to be entered as an array. Type in the formula
then use the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).

A non-array alternative:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A11="south"),--(C2:C11="meat"),--(ISNUMBER(D2:D11)))

Better to use cells to hold the criteria:

F1 = south
F2 = meat

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A11=F1),--(C2:C11=F2),--(ISNUMBER(D2:D11)))
