Hi

Try putting the first value you are looking for in G1, and the second
value in H1 then
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$1000=G1)*($D$1:$D$1000=H1))

Hi, I'm trying to get Excel to match information in two different
columns and add the number of occurances, but unsure of how to do it.

Below I have listed 4 columns of information; I need to match for
instance the number of times that in the first cell "06:15" matches
the
last cell "GAZ" and add the number of times this occurs, in the
example
it occurs "2"

Anyone that can help please?


06:15 14:45 08:30 GAZ
08:00 16:30 08:30 GEORGIA
