Question : Nested countif problem

If I wanted to count the rows in column A that has a "wa" in them and if column B on that same row =3806 how would I do that. CountIF wont allow two different criterian. Would you combine a IF(countif) or what. Please help....Thank you.  Sample;

Col_A     Col_B
WS        3806
TU        4545
WS        4343
WS        3806

count= two rows that meet the above criteria.  WS and 3806 on the same row.

Answer : Nested countif problem

One way around it is to do this:

WS     3806     1
TU     4545     0
WS     4343     0
WS     3806     1
         
          2

The formula for that is:

WS     3806     =IF(AND(A1="WS", B1=3806),1,0)
TU     4545     =IF(AND(A2="WS", B2=3806),1,0)
WS     4343     =IF(AND(A3="WS", B3=3806),1,0)
WS     3806     =IF(AND(A4="WS", B4=3806),1,0)
         
          =SUM(C1:C4)


And if you wanted to you could simply hide the third, "extra" column.
