Thanks JMB.

If I were to have the formula on a different sheet to the data how would
that be done?

another suggestion:
=Sumproduct(--(A1:A4="open"), --(B1:B410))

Hi
I am trying to work out how to create a formula that reads only entries of
"Open" in column A and counts instances of those with "Open" and a value of
over 10 in column B i.e. a value of 2 should be returned in the example
below. Can anyone please help

Cheers
