formula needed
is counting line by line matches of 2 columns even possible in excel
,without the long
=SUM(IF($B2=C2;1;0);IF($B3=C3;1;0);IF($B4=C4;1;0); IF($B5=C5;1;0);IF($B6=C6;1;0)) ...lotsa matches

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B100=C2:C100))

Thanks for the fast reply
I looked at all possible solutions even this sumproduct,but you got to admit
it's not the obvious choice,a math function instead of lookup,compare,count
and such.

Maybe this is more intuitive....

=SUM((B2:B100=C2:C100)*1)

Entered using Ctrl-Shift-Enter
