Combination of two COUNTIF formulas not returning correct answers

[Miss Sheldor]

Hello, I'm having trouble trying to display results from a different sheet where my raw data is when I try to combine two COUNTIFs. The 1st one works and gives the correct value but when I try to add the 2nd I get an incorrect result.

I want a total of when the value in the 1st column is 'cervical' *and* the value in the 2nd column is 'Y' (not when it is 'cervical' and 'N' or 'U')

The 1st COUNTIF gives me the correct value in 'number' column, no problem

<style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'}</style>=COUNTIF('Raw Data'!H2:H74,"CERVICAL")
<style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'}</style>
The 2nd column I have tried to use to give the value in 'number comply with...' should give me 38, but is giving 33 - I can't work out why. I have checked leading/trailing spaces, all cells are formatted as general, none are blank and they are continuous.

<style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'}</style>
<style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'}</style>
=COUNTIF('Raw Data'!H2:H74,"CERVICAL") - COUNTIF('Raw Data'!J2:J74,"N") - COUNTIF('Raw Data'!J2:J74,"U")

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

You could use COUNTIFS for that purpose, for example: =COUNTIFS('Raw Data'!H2:H74,"CERVICAL",'Raw Data'!J2:J74,"Y")

Try to post a 5-row sample from H and J along with the expected results.
