I want to replace my countifs function with a sumproduct as it doesn't work when external reference is not open.
But in my range of values, but alphabets & numerals exist and when I use countifs function, the criteria considers only numerals and avoid texts. But when I use a sumproduct with criteria it considers both numerals & texts.
=COUNTIFS(criteria_range1,criteria1,criteria_range2,criteria2,..)
Rule 08: Cross-posting Without Links
Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.
Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.
Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!
Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
No further help to be offered, please, until the OP has complied with this request.

Forum Rules (updated August 2023): please read them here.
and while you are doing that....
Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).
1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!
4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

I'm closing this thread as its a corss-posting as Ali mentioned above. Thank you Ali for your advice
You don't need to close the thread. Did you actually read my post? Obviously not. Provide a link to the other thread and then we will be happy to help you. You can't close the thread, only mark it as solved. If you no longer want any help, then I'll close the thread for you. Let me know.
Yeah.. Sorry.
But I need your help.
