How to count occurrences with multiple columns in Google Sheet using formulas?

Viewed 79

I have a spreadsheet that looks like this:

Dept Process Job No Job Date Job Time
a x 123 18/7/22 12:00
a w 123 18/7/22 13:00
a y 123 19/7/22 10:00
b z 456 18/7/22 14:00

and a formula from ExtendOffice

=ArrayFormula(QUERY(A1:A&{"",""},"select Col1, count(Col2) where Col1 != '' group by Col1 label count(Col2) 'Count'",1))

which gives

Dept Count
a 3
b 1

As the formula counts the number of occurrences of a value in only one column, how should I modify it to include multiple columns? Say, including Job Date?

Job Date Dept Count
18/7/22 a 2
18/7/22 b 1
19/7/22 a 1

Thank you!

Try below QUERY() formula-

=QUERY(A1:E5,"select D, A, Count(A) group by D, A label Count(A) 'Count'",1)
