Countif with multiple criteria and indirect references
I'm trying to set up a formula to count the number of responses meet two different criteria from another sheet in a workbook.  I can't use countifs and I've tried all kinds of combinations of sumproducts, sum if, and what not.

Here are the two formulae:

=countif(indirect($A$2&"!B:B"),A5) <-- This works just fine and returns the appropriate number of responses where the rows meet the variable in A5.

=countif(indirect($A$2&"!H:H"),"<.7") <-- This also works just fine where the rows have a number less than .7

I can't get the two to play together nicely. I'd like to count responses where both criteria are met.

Please help.

following is a solution to the problem ... I did not have to make any INDIRECT function call
