Hi Haseeb, A sort of masking. Simple and excellent! However, if a 'Yes' appears in the last column, the count is incorrect by 1. You could possibly include an If statement to test for this. Or you could modify the formula slightly: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:T2="Yes"),--(B2:U2<>"Yes")) This works, but requires Column U to be left blank, or at least not to contain any Yes's Regards - Dave.

If you want to work with XL 2003 or prior use SUMPRODUCT =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:S2="Yes"),--(B2:T2<>"Yes")) See the attached HTH Haseeb -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
