excel - Count by multiple criteria not working

Question

I have the below table i neeed to count the no.of.triggers that are enabled.

TABLE NAME OBJECT TYPE STATUS   
factory     Triggers    ENABLED 
PRODUCT     Packages    ENABLED
REFERE      Triggers    ENABLED

In 2007 i tried below but they are not working what i am making mistake in this ?

=COUNTIFS(D:D,"Triggers",F:F,"ENABLED")

I need a 2003 compatibile formula since COUNTIFS is introducted only in 2007 i tried the below query for 2003 again they also yeileded "0". clearly i am missing some thing here.

=SUMPRODUCT((D:D="Triggers")*(F:F="ENABLED"))

Answer 1

The COUNTIFS formula looks OK - if you get zero then it may mean you have some extra characters in those cells, like trailing or leading spaces. What does this give you?

=COUNTIFS(D:D,"*Triggers*",F:F,"*ENABLED*")

In Excel 2003 you can use SUMPRODUCT but not with whole columns - you need to restrict the range, e.g.

=SUMPRODUCT((D1:D1000="Triggers")*(F1:F1000="ENABLED"))

That one will work assuming you don't have extra characters in the cells, otherwise try

=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Triggers",D1:D1000)+SEARCH("ENABLED",F1:F1000))+0)

None of the formulas are case-sensistive
