Evidently you have two criteria: value in column A is A and value in column B
is 1. You can't do that with COUNTIF -- it allows for only one criterion.
You can use this formula =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5=1),--(B1:B5="a"))
Or you could use a Pivot Table to get all of the results at once.

that could tell me how many a are there that have 1
=countif(A1:A5, "=1") and (b1:b5,"=a") the formula would be something like
this can anybody help
One solution is an array formula.
={SUM((A1:A5="a")*(B1:B5=1))}
Don't forget you need to enter the formula with CTRL SHIFT and Enter
in order to get the squiggly brackets {}.
