I have 2 columns of numbers I would like to know how many times the value
in
column A meets a certain value in column B.
ex)
column A column B
row1 1 2
row2 1 2
row3 1 2

How many times does the value 1 in column A match the corrspond value of 2
in column B. For clarity in this example it occurs 3 times?
