Have you looked at doing a pivot table. Place Columns A and then B in the
left of the pivot table and then place column B in the middle of the table.
Switch the aggregation to Count and that should do it... if you want more
help with that just reply back...

Assume you data is in A2:B100 and A1:B1 are header labels.
Select A1:B100 and do Data=Filter=Advanced Filter, select unique in the
lower left and copy to. Then select a range like D1. And click OK. (leave
criteria blank)

in F2
=sumproduct(--($A$2:$A$100=D2),--($B$2:$B$100=E2))

then drag fill down the column.
