[tammyz]

I can't figure this one out. I need a formula in column C that says "count the number of times that "mark" in column A appears in "jan" column B. Any help is very much appreciated!

Try Sumproduct

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10="mark"),--(B2:b10="jan"))

you can use cell refs for mark and jan


Hope that helps.

If you use Excel 2007, try COUNTIFS:

=COUNTIFS(A:A,"Mark",B:B,"Jan")
