4sha000002 0113


if col a begins with 4sha and col b begins with 0 count
answer 2


if you use xl 2007 0r 2010 then:
=COUNTIFS(A2:A5,"4sha*",B2:B5,"0*")
for earlier versions:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A2:A5,4)="4sha"),--(LEFT(B2:B5,1)="0"))

Great! It worked. Let's go one step futher.

add one 2 more conditions, same as B2:B5.
if cell has "J 0" as the lead characters or "Y 0"
It will work separately but when i add it to the above formula as a 3rd & 4th condition, it shows 0 as answer.
