replace the hardcoded criteria with cells for better editing

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A30=H2),--(D2:D30=I2))


and then type the criteria into H2 and I2, that way you don't have to edit
the formula when you change criteria

...
I have a range of data in A2:G30 with cells in range A2:A30 with 'yes' or
'no' as text in the cells, and I have 'David', 'Andrew', 'Charles' or
'John'
as text in cells D2:D30.
I want to put in cell K50 a function that searches D2:D30 for 'Charles',
then records the number of cells in the corresponding rows in range A2:A30
where the cells are 'yes'.
How do I do this please.
