    Trying to get the number of times "77" has "left" in the table.
    Could you explain some more please ? As far as I can see the word "left" is present next to each occurrence of the number 77 ?

    Re: Trouble with COUNTIFS

    it's not working because it is cannot see any link between the text and the number. We need to add another step in there i think
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Trouble with COUNTIFS

    If you put your data in 3 columns only - 1 set below the other - , then countifs() will work...
    No zz za
    77 left right
    78 right left
    79 left left
    77 left right
    78 right left
    79 left left
    77 left right
    78 right left
    79 left left
    77 left right

    =COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$25,77,$B$2:$B$25,"left")
