Hi Biff
I think we are getting there (!) however, the second condition (DET) is in
the second column (B). Data is as follows:

Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DET
Karratha DHW
Karratha DOH
Karratha DOJ
Karratha DPI
Karratha DSR
Karratha FESA
Karratha FESA
Karratha Police
Karratha DEC
Karratha DCD

So, to get the answer of how many DETs are in Karratha, it should equal 8. I
am trying to find a formula I can apply to a larger section and just tryiing
to get it to work with a simple one.

Cheers,
Leanne.

Hi!

Try one of these:

=SUM(COUNTIF(A199:A216,{"Karratha","DET"}))

=COUNTIF(A199:A216,"Karratha")+COUNTIF(A199:A216," DET")

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A199:A216,{"Karratha","DET"},0)))

I want to be able to count the number of times text occurs in one column
based on a match with a different condition in the second column.
The formula: =SUM(IF{(A199:A216="Karratha",IF(B199:B206="DET",1 ,0)))}
returns #N/A when entered as an array and returns 1 when entered as
normal.
