Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A25="LA")*(B1:B25="Submitted"))

OR
You could assign particular cells to contain your items to count, so that
you could change the criteria without having to change the formula itself:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A25=C1)*(B1:B25=C2))

I have a little problem I am trying to count the # or occurences in once
column as it relates to a specific object in another. An example is below.

ColumnA ColumnB
LA Cancel
DC Submitted
LA Submitted
CH Reschedule
LP Cancel
LA Submitted
DC Submitted

I want to know in a seperate cell how many times does "Submitted" appear
in
ColumnB when "LA" appears in columA (for this example the answer is 2).
Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks
