Default adding two sumproduct formulas together


This is a tough tough formula. Normally I can find a way around these
but for this I can't. Any help would be greatly appreciate. I need
one formula and only one formula for this situation. I am trying to do
a count with several conditions. Normally I could use the sumproduct
formula for this and my formula looked like this:

=sumproduct((a4:a10000=3)*(h4:h10000="A")*(k4:k100 00=""))

That was fine but now I have a situation where a given field within a
column can be equal to different values and still need to be counted.
That really doesn't make sense but let me try and show you an example
based on what I tried to do. I wanted to add one sumproduct to another
sumproduct but it wasn't giving me the correct number. Here was the
formula I tried:

=sumproduct((a4:a10000=3)*(h4:h10000="A")*(o4:o100 00<"EXP")*(o4:o10000<"")*(q4:q10000="NOSCRN"))+s umproduct((a4:a10000=3)*(h4:h10000="A")*(k4:k10000 ="")*(q4:q10000<"EXP")*(Q4:Q10000<"NOSCRN"))

I didn't know if you could add sumproduct formulas together within one
sumproduct formula but this way didn't work. I can't do one sumproduct
formula because you'll notice the Q column in one situation needs to be
equal to NOSCRN but in another it cannot equal NOSCRN.

Based on this situation, is there a way I can do this with one formula?
My only other solution has been creating a separate sheet with 1's and
0's based off of an if(AND() statement and then doing a countif() on
the main formula page. I guess what i'm looking for in the end is the
ability to add both of these sumproduct formulas together so if the
first portion counted to 5 and the second portion counted to 10, the
cell would total to 15.

I'd love to find a solution to this problem. I've run out of ideas.

Thanks
