Tricky Sort / Batch Count

[Lukums]

G'day!

I currently have : =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A8:A1000,A8:A1000)>0,1))

It batches column A with re-occurring values and gives the number of batches this works great!

However, I now want to look at column H:H and see how many batches from A:A have the value "MG" in column B.

See example below:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1000[/TD]
[TD]mg[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1000[/TD]
[TD]mg[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2500[/TD]
[TD]sg[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1500[/TD]
[TD]mg[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1500[/TD]
[TD]mg[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3000[/TD]
[TD]sg[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3800[/TD]
[TD]hr[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

The solution would be to obtain the answer 2. As 1000 batch contain mg and 1500 contain mg.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks all.

Luke

Thanks for your speedy response!

This does work as you intended, but the values may not always be in this array, it could be any mg/sg/hr in B1 moving forward.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if this array changes it wouldn't work as it's only looking at B1? I'd need to it search the column to find all "mg" values which counts the batches in column A.

Please correct me if I'm wrong still very much a novice.

C1=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B1:B7=B1,A1:A7),A1:A7),1)) control+shift+enter

or
c1=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B1:B7="mg",A1:A7),A1:A7),1)) control+shift+enter is the same formula
