Ok, here is what I need to do: I need to count the number of
"Consulting" column, the number of times it was initiated by
"Proposal", and the month that it occurred in, which is the
numerical (serial) value of the month. The month I am currently
working on is September. So if there were two proposals for consulting
services during the month, I need that to be reported back to a cell.

I started with the below array but just could not get it to work. It
is a variation of another array I used to check revenue using the same
parameters but without trying to separate the RFP and Consulting from
the list. I am pretty sure I am screwing up on the COUNTIF because I
get "0" in my answer cell.

=SUM(COUNTIF($G$4:$G$5000,"Consulting")*($T$4:$T$5 000=38930)*($S$4:$S$5000<=38960)*((COUNTIF(D4:D40 0,"Proposal"))))

RFP WEB 38935
PROPOSAL CONSULTING 38936
RFP MARKETING 38937
RFP CONSULTING 38938
PROPOSAL MARKETING 38939
PROPOSAL WEB 38940

Thanks for the help!
