Question

Count/Match formula

I am having trouble coming up with a formula to do a quick count for me on items that match a certain criteria. I might be overthinking this but I feel like I need a match condition then a count formula. So I am looking to get a count of the "x" for each specification for each type of animal down toward the bottom where the question marks are. (Don't judge me on the classifications as I was just trying to think of a quick example for what I was trying to do) :-) Any guidance would be appreciated or suggestions for a formula to try if I am not thinking of the best way to get my result. Thank you!!!

Explanation / Answer

Put this in C16 and drag right and down for other cells

=COUNTIFS($B$4:$B$10,$B16,C$4:C$10,"x")
