Right function to use
 

State Ins
1 ny prc
2 ny crc
3 ny crc
4 ct prc
5 ct prc
6 ct crc
7 oh prc
8 oh prc

STATE PRC CRC
NY XXXX XXXX
CT
OH

I want to put a function where the XXX's are that will count the number of
occurances of PRC or CRC based on a particular state code, using the rows
above. I have tried COUNTIF but I can not get the arguments correct??

Right function to use
 

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$6=$A11),--($B$2:$B$8=B$10))

adjust the ranges to suit

Bob, Thanks, this worked great. One more, what if I needed to have another
argument for the same array: like if the first range is NY or OH, and the
second range is prc?
