This video is part 1 of a 3 video series. In each of the videos of the series I use a different Excel array formula to get to the same result.

In this video I show you how you can come up with an array formula that counts the rows if at least one of the lookup fields from the criteria list is in that row. It's an OR logical test involving multiple criteria. It shows a great use of the FREQUENCY function, the SUMPRODUCT formula and the ROW function.

In addition to solving this problem, I take you through the steps you can take to break down complex array formulas and show you tricks you can use to "follow" your formulas' results which helps you come up with other functions that can help you get to your answer.

Series 2 of 3, will introduce you to Excel's MMULT function (Matrix Multipication).
