    If you can sort the data and use a helper column then try:

    - Sort columns A:D by column A then by column D

    - Insert column between current columns D and E.

    - In your new E2 enter formula:

    =IF(AND(A2=A3,D2=D3),"",A2&"_"&D2)

    copied down all the way.

    - Now your formula in new H2 is =COUNTIF(E:E,"*"&F2) copied down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    See attached.

    Remember you must sort columns A:D in ascending order first by column A then by column B.
