Thanks for the quick response however, it's not working how i'd like it to be.

As well as adding sick, bh, leave together. it's also adding regular time
even though it's not part of the criteria. I've incorrectly spelt holiday in
the formula to see if it's taking notice of the criteria and it still picks
it up the data.

Any ideas?

i'm using the sumproduct formula to pick up sick days for people within an
area which works fine for one criteria.

=SUMPRODUCT(--($C$5:$C$16="sick"),--($E$5:$E$16="area1"),($D$5:$D$16))

I need the formula to pick up sick, bank holidays and annual leave days
and
add them all together for each area. is this possible?

Thanks
