Counting cells

[Adel Handal]

Hi,
I had this before, but it didn't work weel! I may have not made it clear.

Range C5:C29 containes either letter C or letter M.
Range D529 containes either letter M or letter F

line 5 C F
line 6 C M
line 7 M M
...........
In cell D34 I want to count the number of occurance of the combination of C
and M.
The array formula =COUNTIF(C5:C29,"C")
counts the value of colomn C.
What adjustment do I need to do to include the values in colomn D?
I tried this: =COUNTIF(C5:C29,"C"), (D529,"M")
but had an error

Try one of these:

=COUNTIF(C529,"C")+COUNTIF(C529,"M")

=SUM(COUNTIF(C529,{"C,"M"}))

Hi,
Non of the worked!
They are arrya formulas.
The firsr one counted all the M's and C's in both colomns.
To be more clear I might refrase it as follows:
need to count the number of rows that has C and M in the same line in
colomns C and colomn D

=sumproduct((c5:c29="c")*(d5:d29="m"))
