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 Flutie

One option is to use SUMPRODUCT. Have a look here for some examples:
