Default Is it possible to use SUMPRODUCT with labels

Named ranges are o.k. if:

1. the dimensions are the same
2. don't use full columns

For example with A1 thru B20:

happy me
happy me
happy me
happy me
happy me
happy me
happy me
happy others
happy others
happy others
sad others
sad others
sad others
sad me
sad me
sad me
sad me
sad me
sad me
sad me

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A20="sad")*(B1:B20="others")) displays 3
and
=SUMPRODUCT((label1="sad")*(label2="others")) displays 3

after the names have been assigned

Hello,

Is it possible to use sumproduct for labels (named ranges)?

I tried this formula without success:
=SUMPRODUCT((Label1="A")*(Label2="S")*(Label3=0))

Ive tried to use it jointly with countif:
=Sumproduct((countif(Label1,A))*((countif(la bel2,S))*(countif
(Label3,0)))
It doesnt return the correct results.

I know that if I use the range instead of labels the function works:
=SUMPRODUCT((nra!E2:E659="A")*(nra!F2:F659="S")*(n ra!G2:G659=0))

But because of repetitiveness of the function in different ranges over
time I was wondering if there is a way to make it work with labels.

Thank you,
