Count if Different Input

Today is Day #1 of using Alteryx, so I have no clue what I'm doing... any help is appreciated!
 
I have two datasets that contain different item numbers, but both contain category information. I need to figure out how to get a column added to my first dataset that tells me how many times my category from dataset 1 is found in dataset 2. How can I get this to work out? A simplified workflow is attached that should represent my problem pretty accurately.
 
In excel, I'd just use a COUNTIF function and reference the separate workbook column, but I can't figure this out in alteryx.

Hi @ramkrau 

 

your excel input must be attached.

Oops! I thought they would be included in the alteryx workflow package.

Hi @ramkrau 

 

A summarize tool with a count function followed by a join should get you what you want:
