To count "NO" in column D when corresponding B is "Annex"
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B100="Annex"),--(D1:D100="NO"))

To count when B is "Annex" and either C or D is "NO".
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B100="Annex"),(D1:D100="NO")+(E1:E100="NO"))
Of course, if both D and E are "NO" this counts for 2

To count when B is "Annex" and both C and D is "NO".
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B100="Annex"),(D1:D100="NO")*(E1:E100="NO"))

Do not use full column references with SUMPRODUCT
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B:B="Annex"),(D:D="NO")*(E:E="NO"))
unless you are in XL2007

I am brain dead...I cannot remember how to count value in one column if
another coulmn meets a certain criteria.
For instance
I want to count all the "NO" in columns D & E, but only if column B is
Annex
