Given the following array:

1024 20
100 30
600 20
700 10
800 10

Is there a COUNTIF equivalent to the following formula?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A8200),--(A4:A8/B4:B8=30))

I am just starting to appreciate the power of SUMPRODUCT, so I want to try
and understand limitations of it as well as replacement functions.

Insofar as SUMPRODUCT will compute with elements from 2 arrays at once,
there is no equivilant COUNTIF (maybe unless it's teamed up with other
functions, but I wouldn't want to try it).

There are SUMPRODUCT statements that use the + operator (translates to "or"
in english) where 2 COUNTIFs can be used and summed together, though.

COUNTIF has only one criterion (notwithstanding that Help calls the last
parameter "criteria" in the plural) so there is equivalent to your formula.
