How would i count the number of times that two items are listed together in
the same row in a string of cells say b2 to g12.

"sell" and "stock" are togeter in rows D, E and F. Say - "Sell" is D3 and
"stock" is D11, "sell" is E5 and "stock" is E7, "sell" is F2 and "stock" is
F8. What fomula could i use that would give me an answer of 3?
