HOW TO TAKE SUM OF TEXT VALUES
 

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10=D2),--(B1:B10=E2))


where you would put Pen in D2 and Yes in E2
or you can hard code it but then you need to change the formula when you
change criteria

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="Pen"),--(B1:B10="Yes"))

HOW TO TAKE SUM OF TEXT VALUES
 

This looks like a job for an array function. Type the expression below in
the cell where you want the total number of rows with "Pen" and "Yes" and
then hit CTL-SHIFT-ENTER (rather than just ENTER). Squiggly brackets ("{}")
should appear around the expression in the edit window.

=SUM((A1:A4="Pen")*(B1:B4="Yes")*1)

Adjust the range in this expression as needed. Create similar expressions
for the other combinations by substituting for "Pen" and/or "Yes".

Do you mean sum column C for Pen and Yes?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="Pen"),--(B1:B10="Yes"),c1:c10)

If you really meant that you wanted to count Pen/Yes/20 (unlikely, huh?):
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="Pen"),--(B1:B10="Yes"),--(c1:c20=20))
