Countif Range not working
Hi,
I have the following entered to set a text value in column d when some other text value is found in a cell range within columns b and c: =IF(COUNTIF(B49:C49,"*aaa*")0,"mgr1",IF(COUNTIF(B 49,"*bbb*")0,"mgr1",IF(COUNTIF(B49,"*ccc*")0,"mg r1",IF(COUNTIF(B49,"*ddd*")0,"mgr1",IF(COUNTIF(B4 9,"*eee*")0,"mgr2",IF(COUNTIF(B49,"*fff*")0,"mgr 2","Other")))))) This works as intended for any value containined in cells of column b, but only works for the very first value ("aaa") in column c. In other words, if the value of a cell within range for column c is "bbb", "Other" is returned instead of "mgr1". Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is there a way to have the formula evaluate each value for both columns? Thanks, Tom |

Works fine here Tom, which suggests a data problem to me.
BTW, you can reduce the formula to =IF(SUM(COUNTIF(B49:C49,{"*aaa*","*bbb*","*ccc*"," *ddd*"})),"mgr1",IF(SUM(COUNTIF(B49,{"*eee*","*fff *"})),"mgr2","Other"))) -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "tommcbrny" wrote in message ...
