Default counting a text value based on another text value.

I am trying to count how many people in a given work group listed in one
column with a status listed in another column. Both values are text

Have a look at countif() function in XL help.
count number of a col when a criteria is met in another column.

Try something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="workgroup"),--(B1:B10="status"))

Better to use cells to hold the criteria:

D1 = some workgroup
R1 = some status

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10=D1),--(B1:B10=E1))

If that's not what you had in mind you'll need to provide more detail.
