I have a long formula as below which checks how many combinations of two specific subjects there are.

Excel Formula:
=IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$3:$AB$3,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$3:$AB$3,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$4:$AB$4,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$4:$AB$4,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$5:$AB$5,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$5:$AB$5,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$6:$AB$6,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$6:$AB$6,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$7:$AB$7,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$7:$AB$7,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$8:$AB$8,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$8:$AB$8,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$9:$AB$9,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$9:$AB$9,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$10:$AB$10,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$10:$AB$10,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$11:$AB$11,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$11:$AB$11,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$12:$AB$12,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$12:$AB$12,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$13:$AB$13,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$13:$AB$13,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$14:$AB$14,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$14:$AB$14,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$15:$AB$15,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$15:$AB$15,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$16:$AB$16,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$16:$AB$16,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$17:$AB$17,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$17:$AB$17,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$18:$AB$18,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$18:$AB$18,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$19:$AB$19,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$19:$AB$19,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$20:$AB$20,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$20:$AB$20,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$21:$AB$21,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$21:$AB$21,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$22:$AB$22,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$22:$AB$22,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$23:$AB$23,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$23:$AB$23,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$24:$AB$24,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$24:$AB$24,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$25:$AB$25,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$25:$AB$25,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$26:$AB$26,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$26:$AB$26,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$27:$AB$27,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$27:$AB$27,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$28:$AB$28,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$28:$AB$28,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$29:$AB$29,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$29:$AB$29,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$30:$AB$30,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$30:$AB$30,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$31:$AB$31,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$31:$AB$31,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$32:$AB$32,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$32:$AB$32,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$33:$AB$33,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$33:$AB$33,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$34:$AB$34,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$34:$AB$34,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$35:$AB$35,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$35:$AB$35,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$36:$AB$36,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$36:$AB$36,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$37:$AB$37,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$37:$AB$37,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$38:$AB$38,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$38:$AB$38,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$39:$AB$39,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$39:$AB$39,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$40:$AB$40,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$40:$AB$40,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$41:$AB$41,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$41:$AB$41,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$42:$AB$42,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$42:$AB$42,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$43:$AB$43,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$43:$AB$43,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$44:$AB$44,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$44:$AB$44,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$45:$AB$45,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$45:$AB$45,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$46:$AB$46,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$46:$AB$46,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)+IFNA(IF(AND(MATCH($A2,$Z$47:$AB$47,0),MATCH(C$1,$Z$47:$AB$47,0))=TRUE,1,0),0)

Essentially it matches the subject in column A and the subject in row 1 to each row in the array z:ab. It tallies the number of rows which contain both subjects in it. Due to the size of the formula, it can get a bit laggy, so I was wondering if there was any more efficient way of doing this?

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Assumin you can never have the same subject twice on the sam row in cols Z:AB, how about in B2 only
Excel Formula:
=LET(f,FILTER(Z3:AB100,Z3:Z100<>""),MAKEARRAY(23,23,LAMBDA(r,c,IF(r>=c,"",SUM(--(MMULT((f=INDEX(A2:A24,r))+(f=INDEX(B1:X1,,c)),SEQUENCE(3,,,0))=2))))))

Thanks for the formula, that seems to work very well (although I must admit I don't understand it at all!). If the number of subjects in the tally chart were to be more/less, how would the formula change?

Do you mean in col A & row 1?
Also will those subjects always be in the same order as each other?

Yes, the ones in Col A and row 1. The subjects would be in alphabetical order however for other groups there may be some subjects omitted and some subjects added

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=LET(vsub,A2:A24,hsub,B1:X1,f,FILTER(Z3:AB100,Z3:Z100<>""),MAKEARRAY(ROWS(vsub),COLUMNS(hsub),LAMBDA(r,c,IF(r>=c,"",SUM(--(MMULT((f=INDEX(vsub,r))+(f=INDEX(hsub,,c)),SEQUENCE(COLUMNS(f),,,0))=2))))))

TRY. Data taken
Table range A1:G7 . Option table range Z3:AB9, Change as required.

In B2
Excel Formula:
=LET(a,A2:A7,b,B1:G1,c,Z3:AB9,d,$Z$3:$AB$3,z,TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(",",FALSE,BYROW(a,LAMBDA(Ro,TEXTJOIN("_",FALSE,BYCOL(b,LAMBDA(clm,IF(ROWS($A$2:Ro)<COLUMNS($B$1:clm),SUM(1*(MMULT(1*((c=Ro)+(c=clm)),1*TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(d)>0))=2)),""))))))),"_",",",FALSE,1,""),IFERROR(VALUE(z),""))
