Hi, Im trying to write "sumif" or "countif" formula to count when it sees
"apples" in one column and "red" in the other, anyone help?
I have tried the following but it just says "0" (zero)

COUNT(IF(A2:A6="APPLES",IF(B1:B6="RED",0)))

A B
APPLES RED
APPLES GREEN
APPLES GREEN
APPLES RED
APPLES RED
APPLES RED
APPLES RED
