Default Using CountIf

I have a spreadsheet with Ethnicity (White, African American, hispanic,
Asian, other) in column A and Time (hh:mm:ss) in column B.

I trying to determine by how many White, for example, have spent less than 5
hours, 5 hrs but less than 10 hr, etc.

My plan is to make a chart of the data.
I've been looking at sumproduct and COUNTIF but I can't quite figure it out.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Default Using CountIf

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A50="White"),--(B2:B50--"05:00"),--(B2:B50<--"10:00"))

if you replace all the criteria with cell refs then you can use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A50=C2),--(B2:B50D2),--(B2:B50<E2))

Thanks for the quick response.

I just noticed that I wrote my question for time range incorrectly. It
should have read "greater than or equal to 5 hours but less than 10 hours"
does this make for a 3rd argument?

Try

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A50="White"),--(B2:B50=--"05:00"),--(B2:B50<--"10:00"))

I've tried your formula but I'm not getting the right count

Her's an extract from the spreadsheet
A B C D E
Name Ethnicity Gender Grade Time
, Black Female 12 17:35:43
, Black Female 11 0:00:36
, Black Male 11 7:02:13
, Black Female 11 0:54:27
, Black Male 11 1:22:18
, Black Male 11 0:00:00
, Black Male 11 0:00:00
, Black Female 11 0:00:00
, Black Male 12 0:00:00
, Black Male 12 0:00:00

Trying to track the number of Black 11th graders with less than five hours I
uused the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B11="Black"),--(D2:D11="11"),--(E2:E11<--"5:00:00"))

The Count should be 6 but I get 0

Any thoughts?

My time is formated (h):hh:ss

I can only assume that either you have hidden spaces in the text or that
your time is text,
test it by typing in a little test table
