Hello All!

I'm trying to create a formula that counts the number of unique dates with two criteria.
I've actually searched within this forum and found a similar question, however because it was case-specific and the conditions differ to mine, the same cannot be applied to mine.
The one with 2 criteria, I've read but because there are no example, I cannot understand the logic, so it is hard to try applying to mine.

This is the picture for context.
The goal is that I want to know how many days, Angelica has eaten the fruit Apple.

Angelica is mentioned 4 times in the dataset. However, the fruit apple is only 3 of them. In addition, the dates has duplicates = meaning the actual times Angelica has eaten Apple is 2 days.
The formula I expected is to show it like this

If tried using =SUM(--(FREQUENCY ) ; but this only have 1 criteria.

Really appreciated it if anyone can help me with this.
Thank you for all your assistance!
Hope you have a great day!
 
Your welcome (you really should thank Aladin as well for the formula ;))

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.

In C15 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF($C$2:$C$11<>"",IF($A$2:$A$11=A15,IF($B$2:$B$11=B15,MATCH($C$2:$C$11,$C$2:$C$11,0)))),ROW($C$2:$C$11)-ROW(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,1,1))+1),1))

By the way, Angelica is eating Apple on 3 different dates, not 2, in your sample.

Yes, sure! Thank you so much Aladin for the formula, it works and can be applied in another context but with similar condition!

You have helped me finish this part of my task, hope in the future, help will easily come to yours if needed!!!

Thank you!
