I have this formula that I use to count the amount of loans that are "FHA Fixed" but it is counting every instance that it finds the words "FHA Fixed". I want to only count if FHA Fixed is together but it is counting the row if it contains the words "FHA Fixed" anywhere in the column.

Can someone help me tweak this formula?

Formula I am using:
=COUNTIFS(Fundings!$E$2:$E$150000,$B$21,Fundings!$AF$2:$AF$150000,"=" & "*FHA Fixed*",Fundings!$V$2:$V$150000,">="&$B23,Fundings!$V$2:$V$150000,"<"&EDATE($B23,1))
The data us below, the result I desire is a count of 1 loan because there is only 1 "FHA Fixed" but it is also counting the row that has "im FHA Bond Conforming Fixed 30 Year"

Product Name
im BROKERED QUORUM HELOC
Conv Fixed 30 Year
FHA Fixed 30 Year
Conv Fixed 30 Year
Conv Fixed 30 Year
Conv Fixed 30 Year
im FHA Bond Conforming Fixed 30 Year

Thanks for that.
With 365 you no longer need to use Ctrl Shift Enter for any formula.
