Default count entries based on criteria in a different column

hi,
i have a large spreadsheet and would like to count the number of entries in
one column only if a different column meets criteria.
for example:
Name Month Score
Joe Jan 100%
Jane Jan -
John Feb 100%

so i want to count the number of scores (not the average score) entered for
January.
i'm using the SUMPROGRAM feature elsewhere, so if there's something along
those lines i'm not thinking about, pls help!
thanks

Try this:

=SUMIF(M:M,"Jan",S:S)

where M is the Month column and S is the Score column.

Hope this helps.

thank you for your reply - that is returning the average score, not the total
# of entries...
