=sumproduct(--(a1:a10="texta"),--(b1:b10="textb"),--(c1:c10="text c"))
Adjust the ranges to match--but you can't use whole columns (except in xl2007). =sumproduct() likes to work with numbers. The -- stuff changes trues and falses to 1's and 0's. Bob Phillips explains =sumproduct() in much more detail he http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html And J.E. McGimpsey has some notes at: http://mcgimpsey.com/excel/formulae/doubleneg.html ==== And if you're using xl2007, take a look at excel's help for =countifs() Owen wrote: I have a spreadsheet with 3 columns - I want to know the number of times col A = texta, and col b = textb and col c = text c. how do I do this in excel? -- Dave Peterson

hi
you could use this formula... =Countif(A1:A100,"Texta") you would need a formula for each text you want to count and would need to adjust ranges.
