excel - How to CountIf in multiple columns?

Question

x = 0
For Each cell in Sheets("01").Range("A:A").Cells
If cell.Value = "aaa" And cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "bbb" Then
x = x+1
End If
Next cell
MsgBox x

Is there a shorter way, pls ?

Answer 1

You can do this with a formula, like this

(Excel 2007 or later)

=COUNTIFS(A:A,"aaa",B:B,"bbb")

(Excel 2003 or earlier)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A:A="aaa")*--(B:B="bbb"))

Or, if you have to do it in VBA, use Evaluate

MsgBox Evaluate("=COUNTIFS(A:A,""aaa"",B:B,""bbb"")")

MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(A:A=""aaa"")*--(B:B=""bbb""))")

EDIT based on your comment

If rDat and rSec are Range's, and ct is the sheet CodeName do it like this

Dim rDat As Range
Dim rSec As Range
Set rDat = ct.[A:A]
Set rSec = ct.[B:B]
ct.Range("C6").Value = Evaluate("=COUNTIFS(" & rDat.Address(, , , True) & " ,""a""," & rSec.Address(, , , True) & ",""1"")")

---

If ct is the sheet Name, use this

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rDat As Range
Dim rSec As Range
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("ct")
Set rDat = ws.[A:A]
Set rSec = ws.[B:B]
ws.Range("C6").Value = Evaluate("=COUNTIFS(" & rDat.Address(, , , True) & " ,""a""," & rSec.Address(, , , True) & ",""1"")")

If rDat and rSec are strings, use this

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rDat As String
Dim rSec As String
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("ct")
rDat = "ct!A:A"
rSec = "ct!B:B"
ws.Range("C6").Value = Evaluate("=COUNTIFS(" & rDat & " ,""a""," & rSec & ",""1"")")

---

Another option (for rDat, rSec as ranges)

ct.Range("C6").Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIfs(rDat, "a", rSec, "1")
