Hi,

I am using the below formula, but it gives me error. Any ideas why is that? I really should work same as the countif formula but instead it gives me error...

=SUMPRODUCT((C4:C453="Juan")*(C4:C453="Alanzon")*(C4:C453="paul"))


I have used the below formula, which works, but would like to know how to use array formula to make it shorter.
=COUNTIF(C4:C453,"Juan")+COUNTIF(C4:C453,"Alanzon")+COUNTIF(C4:C453,"paul")

Much appreciated

jutulu, Good evening.

Try to use:
=SUMPRODUCT((C4:C453="Juan")+(C4:C453="Alanzon")+(C4:C453="paul"))

Is this what you desire?
I hope it helps.

Hi. Any ideas on the above as to how to use array formula to shorten the sumproduct formula? Thanks

Also, can sumproduct work with the * symbol too, or only with the + symbol?
Thanks
