i need to count the number of companies that are selected (using "1" or "0"
in one column) and have posiitve growth rates (in another column). is there
a countif function that lets me do this?

Perhaps I should be more specific:

Sheet 1 has:
Co. A 1
Co. B 0
Co. C 1

Sheet 2 has:
Co. A -1%
Co. B 2%
Co. C 5%

I need to count the number of companies with 1 and positive growth. In the
example, the answer would be 1 since co. c is the only that meets the
criteria.

Hi

-- coerces a TRUE or a FALSE into being a number. If you type =TRUE into a
cell, you get TRUE. If you type =--TRUE into a cell, you get 1. It's a
simple way of making a TRUE result equal 1 and a FALSE result equal 0 - for
calculation purposes.
