Just reverse the ranges in the Match function:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2:A3,$D1:$D3,0))))

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH($D1:$D3,A2:A3,0))))

Thanks, Biff.

This formula helps but it's not counting same fruit or dairy items that
appear twice.

Example, the list could be:

Apple
Apple
Orange

This formula only return a count of 2 which should really be 3.

Please advise. Thank you very much.

With the list in D1:D3

Fruits in A2:A3
Dairy in B2:B3

For the count of fruits:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2:A3,$D1:$D3,0))))

Copy across to get the count of dairy
