Hi there,
I can't seem to find any answers here that I need in particular, maybe
someone can help me out here? Sorry if the question's rather long but I'm
trying to explain exactly what I want:

I have a Range of 15 Cells that contain Criteria for my Countif, looking like:
(Cells:)
F2 G2 H2 I2 J2 K2
AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF

I need to know How many times All these criteria appear in Column E in sheet
"Worksheet", like:

PRODUCT:
AAA
AAA
DDD
EEE
FFF
FFF
ZZZ

(The formula should return a Total of 6)
I am currently using
COUNTIF('Worksheet'!E:E,F2)+COUNTIF('Worksheet'!E:E,G2)+COUNTIF('Worksheet'!E:E,H2)+COUNTIF('Worksheet'!E:E,I2)+COUNTIF('Worksheet'!E:E,J2)+COUNTIF('Worksheet'!E:E,K2)

This works OK, but if I have a range of 15 cells and the column is in
another file, so this way the formula would be a Mile long. Is there a way to
count this in One formula??

Again, Sorry for the Long story, but Many Thanks for Your help!!!

how's this for condensed?
=SUM((E1:E65535=F2:K2)*1)
Confirm this as an array formula using (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

Note that you can't call out the entire column for this to work (I assumed
leaving out the last row would be okay for now). If formula causes lag in
calculation speed, reduce size of range as possible.

And of course, to add more condition, simply change the width of the second
range (and don't forget to input as an array formula!)
 
would such an array-entered (i.e. insert it with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
formula help?

=SUM(IF(COUNTIF($F$2:$K$2,Worksheet!$E$1:$E$15)>0,1,))
 
....adjust the ranges accordingly...

would such an array-entered (i.e. insert it with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
formula help?

=SUM(IF(COUNTIF($F$2:$K$2,Worksheet!$E$1:$E$15)>0,1,))

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(FIND(F2:K2,E1:E65535)))

1. Obviously, adjust the F2:K2 range to reflect your entire criteria range.

2. Unless you have Excel 2007+, you cannot refer to an entire column when
generating the array. Even if you could, the fewer cells, the more rapidly the
function will calculate.
