COUNTIF with Multiple Criteria in the Same column

---

Assuming that you have a list of data in column A and you want to count the number of two specified text string (excel and word) in range A1:A5, how to achieve it.

To count the number based on multiple criteria in the same range or column in Excel, you can create a formula based on the SUMPRODUCT function and the COUNTIF function. Just like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(A1:A5,{"excel";"word"}))

Then type this formula into a blank cell and then press Enter key in your keyboard to apply this formula.

You will see that the count number is displayed in that cell.

And if you want to add one more criteria in this formula, for example, you need to count the number of three text strings in the given range, you just add that text string into the formula as below:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(A1:A5,{"excel";"word";"access"}))

Or you can also use another formula based on the SUM function and the COUNTIFS function to achieve the same result. Like this:

=SUM(COUNTIFS(A1:A5,{"excel","word"}))

Type this formula into a blank cell, and then press Enter key.
