Thanks. When I enter the array forumula, the cell value displays zero
(which is incorrect). But when I edit the function, the 'formula results"
displays 163 (which is correct). Why wouldn't the 163 display in the cell?

One way ..
Assuming data in cols A and B are within A1:B100
With the values listed say,
in D1: XX, in E1: XXXX
we could put in F1:
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRIM(D1),$A$1:$A$100) )*ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRIM(E1),$B$1:$B$100))))
SEARCH is not case sensitive. We could replace SEARCH with FIND if case
sensitivty is required for the values listed in D1:E1

I need to count two different text values within two columns.
Column A contains sentences and Column B contains various values.
Example of small sentences in Column A:
Custom XX Upgrade
Printing reports on XX
Custom YY Upgrade
Example of values in Column B:
AAAA
BBBB
BBBB
What I need to do is count groups of records, like only counting the records
that contain €œXX€ anyplace witihin Column A plus have €œXXXX€ in Column B.
I tried countif statements with no success. Any ideas?
