try this idea
=sumproduct((a2:a22="AppDev")*(b2:b22="active"))
and to sum col c that meets that criteria
=sumproduct((a2:a22="AppDev")*(b2:b22="active")*c2 :c22)

I am looking to write a formula, but I'm stuck.

I have a three columns: Project Name, division, phase. I want to write a
forumula that counts the number of projects per division per phase. For
instance, I want to know how many projects are in the AppDev division that
are active. Likewise, I want to know how many Telecom projects are
inactive...etc.

I've tried Count and CountIf functions, but I'm not getting the result
that
I want.
How do I go about calculating this?

Thanks
John
