If you use VBA, you can just do a count for y=1 to 50 IF cells(1,y)=F AND cells(2,y)=V then x=x+1, display x

if cell values are text in separate columns, then try placing this formula is adjacent column

=if(and(a1="F",b1="V"),1,0)

if cell values are in same column, the try

=if(a1="F V",1,0)

you can then sum or count the "ones". crude method, but works.

good luck.

Bollywood - this question should have went in the Engineering Spreadsheets forum. Red Flag your post and ask management to move it. You may get some other advice/options over there.

Good luck,
