Hi,

One way to count all the instances of "email" and "yes" is to use:
(Asuming your data is in A1:B10)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="email"),--(B1:B10="yes"))

and "email" and "no"

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="email"),--(B1:B10="no"))

If there is "email" in all the rows in column A and you just want to
count "yes" and "no" in column B then maybe you can use:

For "yes" count:
=COUNTIF(B1:B10,"=yes")

For "no" count:
=COUNTIF(B1:B10,"=no")
