This formula is killing me, help please : The first formula below is the one that operates correctly – its function is to tally up all “x’s” in a particular column when another column in that row says “Spain” and another column in that row says “Issued”.
 
=COUNTIFS(L$3:L$89,"=x",$A$3:$A$89,"=Spain",$H$3:$H$89,"=Issued")
 
The problem is with this next formula where I want it to do the same as above, plus add to it the tally for other rows that have “France”, for example.  I know this formula isn’t structured correctly because the output is “zero”, when it should be “2”.  There are more countries that I want to add to this command eventually, but if I could get it to operate correctly with just two countries, adding the others should be easy. I’m not sure if the formula is the problem, or if I’m using the wrong function command, or what.   
=COUNTIFS(K$3:K$89,"=x",$A$3:$A$89,"=Spain",$H$3:$H$89,"=Issued",K$3:K$89,"=x",$A$3:$A$89,"=France",$H$3:$H$89,"=Issued")
