Problem: In MS Excel, Column A contains values from A to Z and Column B
contains value from 1 to 5. Now, I need to count the records that have
"A" has value in Column A and "3" in Column B. I had tried with COUNTIF
function but it works only for one criteria, i.e. it can be used if I
want to count the records with value "A" in Column A or the records
with "5 in Column B. Is there any function that can be used for this
purpose.

Have you considered creating a third column with something like "=A1&B1"
as a formula, then using countif ?
