I have done this before a long time ago and now can't remember how to do it.
Problem with old age and not staying in practice.

I want to look up items in column A and count items that match from column B.
A B
1 test1 new
2 test1 new
3 test2 old
4 test1 new
5 test2 old

The result I am looking for is 3 new and 2 old.

Something along these lines

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A30="Test1")*(B1:B30="New"))

Thanks, I knew it was simple but I just could not get my head to work.
