I am facing problem that I want to count number of occurances of a set of
text spread in Two Columns. For example, I have two columns A and B. In
Column A, I have values F, B, L...In Column B, I have values F, M, N...Now I
wish to know that how many occurances are there in which the value in Column
A is "F" and Value in Column B, is "M".
I hope I am able to convey my problem effectively. Please help me in this
regard.

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$200="F"),--($B$2:$B$200="M"))

One way:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100="F")*(B1:B100="M"))

or if you put Text of column A in D1 and text of column B in E1:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100=D1)*(B1:B100=E1))
