Countifs referencing same range, counting multiple criteria

Smarty

On worksheet 1 I have a column titled "Activity" formatted as dropdown list, several selections to choose from. For easy reference, let's say the dropdown list contains blue, green, red and orange.

On worksheet 2, I am referencing the "Activity" range to count all instances of blue and green.

My guess is I need to use COUNTIFS/ and either AND or OR referencing one range and multiple criteria but not sure of correct format. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Countfis(Activity, blue, [Activity, green...incorrect

Countifs(Activity, blue, green

It would look like this:

=COUNTIFS({Activity}, OR(@cell = "Blue", @cell = "Green"))

@Paul Newcome

That worked! Thank you!!

Could you possibly advise how to incorporate an additional item?

My Worksheet (Grid) on which I am calculating lists states in the first column (AL, AK, etc.) My initial COUNTIF referenced a "State" range on another worksheet, counting all "Activity" by State.

What would be the best way to "Count" the number of ASA and ASA Multiple per state? I am not getting much input from our QC department on what they want to see, so I am providing as many metrics as I can! I did attach an excel spreadsheet if I am not making sense!

@Smarty Do you mean adding a State variable to the above?
