Hi All,

I am working on spreadsheet 2.

I want to go into spreadsheet1 (tab1), search column A for "Yes" and column B for "George", if both criteria is met I want to return the number of entities, how is this done?

Thanks

I think you need to clarify that a bit more.
Is it an AND or and OR situation?, i.e.
Count records where column A is NOT Yes AND column B is NOT No
-or-
Count records where column A is NOT Yes OR column B is NOT No

Also, do you want to count blank rows?

Don't count blank rows.

So for example count the entities in column A that are not equal to "Yes" and the entities in Column B that are not equal to George.

So, if I understand you correctly, here are some examples:
Code: 
Column A    Column B    Result
Yes         George      Don't count
Yes         Bob         Don't count
No          George      Don't count
No          Bob         Count
Is that correct?

That is correct, apologies for my poor explanation.

Try:
Code: 
=COUNTIFS(Sheet1!A:A,"<>" &"Yes",Sheet1!A:A,"<>" &"",Sheet1!B:B,"<>" & "George",Sheet1!B:B,"<>" & "")
This does not count any records with a blank in either column A or B.

Joe4 can you please take me a doubt...
Do we really need the "<>"&"" to the empty criteria? I tried as bellow and it worked...

=COUNTIFS(Sheet1!A:A,"<>"&"Yes",Sheet1!B:B,"<>"&"George",Sheet1!A:A,"<>",Sheet1!B:B;"<>")

Thank you..
