Frank,

Copy the below formula exactly like it is (including dashes --) in whatever
cell you want the answer. I am assuming your data is in cells A2:C9.
Therefore, you may have to change the data ranges.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A9="cost"),--(B2:B9="apple"),C2:C9)

This should produce the answer of 80 that you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
