Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I have large Excel 2010 spreadsheet where I can to do some analysis on rows. &nbsp;I am trying to do a COUNTIFS formular, but I keep getting the wrong answer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Bascially the spreadsheet (Sheet name is Data) is a list of people, there is then then in columns D to R there are text values depicting somesone job responsibilities. Then in columns T to AH there are text values depicting the industry(s)<br />
<br />
What I am trying to do is create a matrix of job responsibilities across industries.<br />
<br />
So for example if I was looking for people with the following codes:<br />
<br />
Job Responsibilites = &quot;GeneralMgtNED&quot; and an industry of &quot;SERVICES&quot;<br />
<br />
the formular I am trying is =COUNTIFS(Data!D:R,&quot;Genera<wbr />lMgtNED&quot;,D<wbr />ata!T:AH,&quot;<wbr />SERVICES&quot;)<wbr />. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have also tried =COUNTIFS(Data!D:R,&quot;=Gener<wbr />alMgtNED&quot;,<wbr />Data!T:AH,<wbr />&quot;=SERVICES<wbr />&quot;). &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Both give me an answer of 5, it should be something like 28.<br />
<br />
Can anybody help<br />
<br />
<br />
