Need some help on basics of excel-VBA

Question

I am interested in counting a variable (male) in column A and another variable (working) in column B. I want the output to be the total number of times both 'men' and 'working' are displayed together. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Consider the following data

VBA solution

Use the WorksheetFunction.CountIfs method . The following code should return 4 :

Option Explicit

Sub CountMaleWorking()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

    Debug.Print WorksheetFunction.CountIfs(ws.Columns("A"), "male", ws.Columns("B"), "working")
End Sub

Or just use a forumla

=COUNTIFS(A:A,"male",B:B,"working")

Answer 2

As GSerg mentioned, no vba but a simple countifs.

Put in C1

=COUNTIFS(A1:A100,"male",B1:B100,"working")
