Default Sumproduct a column where 2 adj text columns contain same value

Use cells to hold the criteria** :

E3 = 0
F3 = 1.01
G3 = Jones
H3 = Draper
I3 = Smith

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A3:A26E3),--(A3:A26<F3),--(B3:B26=G3),--(C3:C26=G3))

** Use cells to hold the criteria:

You'd have to redo this formula since array constants can't use cell
references.

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A260.00)*(A3:A26<1.01)*(B3:B26={ "Smith","Draper","Jones"}))


=SUMPRODUCT(--(A3:A26E3),--(A3:A26<F3),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B3:B26,G3:I3,0))))

Hi,
I'm using a sumproduct formula to ascertain the number of times that a
value
between 0 and 1 occurs in column A (range A3:A26), where the adjacent cell
in
column B (B3:B26) contains either "Smith", "Draper" or "Jones":

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A260.00)*(A3:A26<1.01)*(B3:B26={" Smith","Draper","Jones"}))

This formula works fine and details the number of entries where the value
in
column A is between 0 and 1, and the name in the adjacent column B cell is
Smith Draper or Jones.

What I need to do is the same SUMPRODUCT of 0-1 entries in column A but
this
time where the names listed in column B are equal to more names listed in
Column C (i.e. where B7 = "Jones" and C7 = "Jones", 1 will be the added to
my
SUMPRODUCT total (if the value in A7 is between 0 and 1).

Keep skirting around the edges of this one without being quite able to
nail
it.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Cheers,
Steve.
