countif statement

[italiavb]

I AM TRYING TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF ROWS THAT TWO MEET DIFFERENT CRITERIA IN
TWO DIFFERENT COLUMNS.

IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW I WANT TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF ROWS DOG AND BROWN MATCH.
SO THE ANSWER IN THIS CASE WOULD BE 2

I TRIED USING "COUNTIF" "COUNTA", SEVERAL IF AND STATEMENTS. I NEED SOME
HELP.


A B C

DOG BROWN

CAT WHITE

MOUSE RED

DOG WHITE

DOG BROWN

CAT BROWN

Don,
Can the wildcard symbol (*) be used in the formula?
