CountIF and Sum Formula in Excel
I am trying to write a formula to search the person's name and then show a result that out of 3 fruits how many times that person has purchased Apples, Oranges and Mangos. The fruits are constant and cannot change; however, there could be more than one person in the list who can buy these fruits.

The easiest way to do it is to let Excel do all the heavy lifting. Pivot tables are a wizard to make summarizing data simple.
You highlight the data and select Insert | Pivot Table from the menu. I'm using LibreOffice Calc, so the dialog window looks slightly different, but the steps are essentially the same.
You click and drag Person from the Available Fields to the Row Fields box, Click and drag Fruit from the Available Fields to the Column Fields box. And click and drag it again to the Data Fields box. There, you have a choice of how to aggregate the values. If Excel's default aggregation isn't Count, double click on it and select Count.
You can select where you want to stick the table and there's an option to skip row and column summaries. Click OK and you're done.
