when I use =COUNTIF(Exceptions!C:C,LEFT(A12,(LEN(A12)-10))) +
COUNTIF(Exceptions!E:E,"No Reason Provided")
it counts all the ,"No Reason Provided" reasons 376 not the 3 indicated
below. What I need is just the count for the vendor (A12) Barr Nunn
Transportation

I guess a pivot table would be the easiest option. (In part, this is also due
to the fact that I do not fully know your data layout and whay you're trying
to measure.)

Use sumproduct
=SUMPRODUCT(-(range1=criteria1),--(range2=criteria2))

If I am reading between the skimpy description of your layout that you have
so far provided, I **think** this may be what you are looking for...
=SUMPRODUCT((Exceptions!A1:A1000="Barr Nunn Transportation
Inc")*(Exceptions!E1:E1000="No Reason Provided"))
You will need to adjust the range to cover the maximum rows you ever expect
to have in use (you cannot use an entire column reference with the
SUMPRODUCT function unless you are using XL2007, hence the need to specify a
fixed range)... both ranges in the formula need to be the same length (that
is, have the same number of cells referenced).

close but no cigar
ok let me try again
1. there are 2 tabs, Service and Exceptions
2. I am counting on the Service tab the number of lates in column C
=COUNTIF(Exceptions!C:C,LEFT(A8,(LEN(A8)-10)))
3. then i would like to count only the "No reasons provided for each vendor
COUNT(Exceptions!E:E,"No Reason Provided")
4. when I use this formula I get a total of 5 which is every reason for the
Vendor
5. what i would like is 3 for No Reason Provided
Vendor Registers Reason
Barr Nunn Transportation Inc 2111027 No Reason Provided
Barr Nunn Transportation Inc 2131663 No Reason Provided
Barr Nunn Transportation Inc 2110528 Truck Problems
Barr Nunn Transportation Inc 2110529 Dispatch Error
Barr Nunn Transportation Inc 2110530 No Reason Provided

Assuming your reference to the substring in A8 is meaningful, what about
this?
=SUMPRODUCT((Exceptions!C1:C1000=LEFT(A8,(LEN(A8)-10)))*(Exceptions!E1:E1000="No
Reason Provided"))
Again, you will need to adjust the range to cover the maximum rows you ever
expect to have in use (you cannot use an entire column reference with the
SUMPRODUCT function unless you are using XL2007, hence the need to specify a
fixed range)... both ranges in the formula need to be the same length (that
is, have the same number of cells referenced).
