you don't use software for a long time you forget and it doesn't help that
i'm a self taught user, so people like you who are so important to other
ordinary users.

to count the total of occurence of each stage
use =COUNTIF(C2:C10,"Suspend") or
use a cell to hold the criteria, eg D2
=COUNTIF(C2:C10,D2)

to sum the values on on another column eg Col. B based on these conditions
use =SUMIF(C2:C10,"suspend",B1:B9) or
use a cell to hold the condition, eg D2
=SUMIF(C1:C9,D2,B1:B9)
