I need to get a specific total from the following criteria. I have data
in 2 columns and need to get a total based upon specific entries in the
cells in thoses columns. For example:

Column A has 4 choices from a picklist. (N,P,C,R)
Column B has a different set of choices. (ENG,OP,T&E,RS)

What I need to do is be able to get an answer for how many N's are also
ENG's

Thanks

=SUMPRODUCT(--(acolumn="n"),--(bcolumn="eng"))
acolumn and bcolumn must have the same dimensions.
