COUNTIFS with multiple criteria

[mystique07]

I am having a table with 2000 rows and trying to do a COUNTIFS to find how many combinations i have for the below example.

With one criteria it is coming properly but when i add the next criteria it is not working.
also i cannot type "Apple" i need to reference the cell since i have around 1000 different values

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Apple[/TD]
[TD]orange[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Apple[/TD]
[TD]orange[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Banana[/TD]
[TD]grape[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Apple[/TD]
[TD]grape[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Apple & Orange - 2
Banana & Grape - 1

I got the answer

=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$5,A2,$B$2:$B$5,B2)
