Default CountIf trouble

Hi I am having a time with Countif statement. Here is what I have

I have a table with some rows that I need to count

Row F
Job Type RowG
Order Status
Sys Ordered
Prg Quoted
Sys Quoted
Prg Ordered
Sys Ordered
Prg Quoted
Sys Quoted
Prg Quoted
Sys Quoted
Sys
Sys Quoted

I have tried to write a formula to count the number of times Row F has "Sys"
and Row G has "Ordered"

the formula I thought would work is

=(COUNTIF(F2:F48,"Sys"))*AND(COUNTIF(G2:G15,"Order ed"))

I always get 10 returned. The formula counts Row F but never takes into
account what is in Row G

I need the count to increment only if both conditions are true Row F = Sys
AND row G = Ordered

Any Ideas will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

PS Why does Excel require a * in front of the AND statement?

I have tried many variations of this formula and it either doesn't work or
gives me 10 in return. I need it to return 2

Thanks In Advance!!!!!!!

Mark

The table got messed up a bit when posted.
The Row F is Job Type nad Row G is Order Status
I'm sure you get the idea what I am trying to do!

TIA

Don't you need to have the AND first in the formula? AND(Countif....

Try something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT((F2:F48="Sys")*(G2:G48="Ordered"))

Both ranges *must* be of equal size (F2:F48 & G2:G48).

Thanks RagDyer
I figured out that CountIf only works on one column at a time.

=SUMPRODUCT((F2:F48="Sys")*(G2:G48="Ordered"))
That worked.
I tried to use SumProduct and was real close but left out the = sign before
the "Sys" and "Ordered" and it gave me wrong answers!

Thanks again!
