One way:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(K1:K900="tim"),--(J1:J900="clever"))

Hi,

I'm trying to COUNTIF in one range at the same time as COUNTIF in
another, and put the answer in one cell.

In English, the formula might be: Count if K1:K900 is 'tim' and J1:J900
is 'clever'.

To return how many times tim is clever. (For example. I know that, in
fact, Tim is actually quite dim)

Thanks
