In column A, I have values equal to either YES, NO or NA. In column B, I
have values equal to either YES, NO or NA. I want to count the # of cells in
column B that equal to their counterpart in column A. For example: A
B
1 yes yes
2 no no
3 na na
4 yes no
5 Total I want should be 3 as B1=A1 count, B2=A2
count, B3 = A3, B4 ≠ A4

Thanks in advance!

sorry my date is not visually clean...I'll try this:
A B
1 YES YES
2 NO NO
3 NA NA
4 YES NO
5
B5 should have a result of 3.

Try this...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B5=A1:A5))

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A4=B1:B4))
