Count rows if meet multiple criteria in Excel
Count the number of rows in a range based on multiple criteria, some of which depends on the logical tests that work at the row-level, the SUMPRODUCT function in Excel may do you a favor.
For example, I have a product report with planned and actual sales, now, I want to count the rows containing the Apple which actual sale is greater than planned sale as below screenshot shown. To solve this task, the most effective function is SUMPRODUCT function.
Count rows if meet multiple criteria with SUMPRODUCT function
Count rows if meet multiple criteria with SUMPRODUCT function
To count the rows if meet multiple criteria, using the SUMPRODUCT function in Excel, the generic syntax is:
- logical1, logical2:The logical expressions used to compare the values.
1. For counting the number of Apple rows which actual sale is greater than planned sale, please apply the below formula:
Note: In the above formula, C2:C10>B2:B10 is the first logical expression which compares the values in column C to the values in column B; A2:A10=E2 is the second logical expression which checks if the cell E2 exists in column A.
2. Then, press Enter key to get the result you need, see screenshot:
Explanation of the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(($C$2:$C$10>$B$2:$B$10)*($A$2:$A$10=E2))
- $C$2:$C$10>$B$2:$B$10: This logical expression is used to compare the values in column C to the values in column B in each row, if the value in column C is greater than value in column B, TRUE is displayed, otherwise, a FALSE will display, and returns the array values as this: {TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;TRUE}.
- $A$2:$A$10=E2:This logical expression is used to check if the cell E2 exists in the range A2:A10. So, you will get the result like this: {TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE}.
- ($C$2:$C$10>$B$2:$B$10)*($A$2:$A$10=E2): The multiplication operation is used to multiply these two arrays into one single array to return the result as this: {1;0;1;0;0;0;0;1;0}.
- SUMPRODUCT(($C$2:$C$10>$B$2:$B$10)*($A$2:$A$10=E2))= SUMPRODUCT({1;0;1;0;0;0;0;1;0}): This SUMPRODUCT adds up the numbers in the array and returns the result: 3.
Relative function used:
- SUMPRODUCT:
- The SUMPRODUCT function can be used to multiply two or more columns or arrays together, and then get the sum of products.

- Supposing, you have a report of product sales of this year and last year, and now, you may need to count products where the sales in this year are greater than last year, or the sales in this year are less than last year as below screenshot shown. Normally, you can add a helper column for calculating the sale difference between the two years, and then use COUNTIF to get result. But, this article, I will introduce the SUMPRODUCT function to get the result directly without any helper column.
- Count Matches Between Two Columns
- For example, I have two lists of data in column A and column C, now, I want to compare the two columns and count if the value in column A found in column C in the same row as below screenshot shown. In this case, the SUMPRODUCT function may be the best function for you to solve this task in Excel.

This article, I will talk about how to solve this job quickly and easily with the combination of SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF functions.
