Hi,

Bernard and Max's formulas are effectively the same, however, Bernard's is
prepared to handle a few problems that the other one won't.

But if you just want short:

=SUMPRODUCT(N(A1:A5&B1:B5="MemberStudent"))

or if you enter Member in D1 and Student in D2

=SUMPRODUCT(N(A1:A5&B1:B5=D1&D2))

or you can use the array equivalent:

=SUM(N(A1:A5&B1:B5=D1&D2))

In this case press Shift+Ctrl+Enter to enter the formula rather than
Enter.
