    Using drop down boxes and needing them to check each other before counting the amount

    Hello,
    I am having trouble figuring out the exact formula to count how many times a letter(s) appears in certain columns using a drop down box and counting them depending on what is selected in the boxes then placing them in a certain area. I have attached a sample sheet and provided a detailed description of exactly what i am trying to accomplish. If someone could please help me out i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    Try this in E52 copied down

    =IF(ISTEXT(B52),SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRIM(LEFT(B52,3)),$C$17:$C$47)))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRIM(RIGHT(B52,2)),$N$17:$O$47)))),"")
    Seems to work for your example. It does depend on the length of the values you are looking up, are they all 1,2, or 3?
