try = sumproduct(--(A1:A64000="Home"),--(B1:B64000<"Cancelled"))
a specific range must be specified and not an entire column

I have a spreadsheet that has column A with project type and column B with

do not have a status = Cancelled in column B. The formulas as in another
worksheet.

I've been trying to use this formula but it's not correct:

=COUNTIF(Projects!$A:$A,"Home")-COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B,"Cancelled")

I'm not sure if Countif is the right function to use. would Sumproduct be
better?
