Forgot to mention that SumProduct cannot use entire column references (C:C).

A few ways:

To follow your lead, try this:

=COUNTIF(C:C,"XXXX")+COUNTIF(C:C,"YYYY")

To combine them, use the Sum() finction:

=SUM(COUNTIF(C:C,{"XXXX","YYYY"}))

Or, the ever popular<g SumProduct():

=SUMPRODUCT(--(C1:C1000={"XXXX","YYYY"}))

Hi

Can anyone assist with a multiple COUNTIF formula. I basically want to
count two values in a range of cells. At the moment Im putting in
entering
something like -
=COUNTIF(C:C,"XXXX") AND COUNTIF(C:C,"YYYY").
However, this is not working so Im assuming I should be using a command
other than 'AND' to link them.

Any help advice appreciate. Thanks in advance!
