Count rows that meet two conditions
COUNTIFS with two criteria — where "how many" questions actually start.
The data
| Row number | A | B | C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Region | Status | Value |
| 2 | West | Won | 4200 |
| 3 | East | Lost | 3850 |
| 4 | West | Won | 5100 |
| 5 | North | Won | 4650 |
| 6 | West | Lost | 2300 |
| 7 | West | Won | 6100 |
Your task
Put a formula in E2 that counts how many rows are both in the West region and have the status Won.
Your formula goes in E2
The checker compares your formula against the accepted answers — it does not run it. The expected result is shown with the solution so you can verify it in your own spreadsheet.
Why this is the right formula
Conditions in COUNTIFS combine with AND — every one must hold for a row to count. There is no OR option, which surprises people: listing two values for the same column matches nothing rather than either. The SUMPRODUCT form is accepted because it is the classic pre-COUNTIFS way to do it, and still the way to handle conditions that are expressions rather than plain comparisons.

Questions
Does this actually run my formula?
No, and it is worth being clear about that. The checker normalises what you type — case, spaces, the semicolon-or-comma separator, dollar-sign anchors — and compares it against every formula that solves the task. The expected result is shown so you can verify it independently in your own spreadsheet.
My formula is different but correct. Will it be marked wrong?
It should not be: each exercise accepts the genuinely different approaches, not one blessed answer. If you find a correct formula that is rejected, the feedback button sends it to us with the page attached.
