    COUNT Incidences of Specific Text within column referencing multiple rows

    Hi,

    I hope someone can help as I'm a little stuck on how to approach this one.

    I would like to know if there is a way I can count the number of times a specific text occurs within a column but by anchoring this only to those rows which match a certain code in the far left column.

    I have a large spreadsheet to which I need to apply this but have attached a simplified example of the problem.

    So, in this example, how can I return how many Oranges are 'Good' or how many Apples are 'Bad'?

    A slick and fast formula would help as I need to calculate around 300,000 rows and do so for around 90 column headings.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thanks

    Something like:

    =LET(a,$A$2:$A$15,b,$B$2:$B$15,ROWS(FILTER(a,(a=$D2)*(b=E$1))))

    Two options are in the file.

    Wow. I was really expecting it to be WAY more complicated. I MUST learn more about Excel. Thank you for responding so quickly. This will also work I think.
