Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(C6:C70="lost"),--(F6:F70="backhoes"))

Does that help?

Hello,

I am sure this is a simple formula but for the life of me I can not
remember.

Here is my scenario:

Column C (c6:c70) contains the data "won" or "lost"
Column F (f6:f70) contains the data "4wd loaders" "backhoes", etc.

I need to count, in another column, how many backhoes were lost and so on.

Thanks,
Brandy
