I want to use Countif with 2 conditions. For example,
1. It searches for the Emp Name, I need - Emp Name column A
2. It checks whether the Emp is Absent / present - Emp Attendance column B
then counts the no. of appearances of this Emp name in Column A

The absentee can be manually deleted & then countif is to be applied but I
want a function to do this without deleting

Something like this, in say C2:
=sumproduct((A$2:A$100="Name1")*(B$2:B$100="Presen t"))
will return the required count of employee "Name1"'s attendance record - ie
where s/he was marked as "Present" in col B. Adapt the ranges to suit.

sorry max but that is a different situation . in this situation my data has
only one column and i have to apply multiple condition.

post up a clear sampling of your data and what/where you want countif
formulas operating. Much faster than back and forth like this...

Maybe you meant something like this:
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(A2:A10,{"kk","gg","aa"})))
which counts the total occurrences of: kk, gg, aa
within the range A2:A10

Think SUM can be used here (shorter):
=SUM((COUNTIF(A2:A10,{"kk","gg","aa"})))
