One way
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A2000="Person 1"),--(B2:B2000="Area A"),C2:C2000)
note that you can't use the full range (A:A) in a sumproduct formula.
You might improve the usability by using cell references for your criteria
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A2000=E1),--(B2:B2000=F1),C2:C2000)
where E1 holds the person and F1 the area, that way you don't need to edit
the formula
when you change the criteria

...
I have a spreadsheet that has three columns
Person 1 Area A Total$
Person 1 Area B Total $
Person 2 Area A Total $
How can I setup automatic subtotaling so that I can say if A:A contains
Person 1 and B:B ocntains Area A, subtotal Total$
I tried if and SumIF. neither worked.
Thanks
