I don't understand the logic of displaying 2 when there are 3 direct
matches (c1/c1, f3/f3 and t4/t4).

Please explain.

I'm trying to put together a formula that will count the number of times the
data in column a matches c.
I need a total column in this case(row 6) should say 2 because text in
columns a & c only match 3 times

Say i have:
* *a * b * c * d * e
1 c1 * * *c1
2 c2 * * *c1 *
3 f3 * * * f3
4 p2 * * *f3
5 t4 * * *t4
