Simon, as Alan pointed out "Your illustration referred to "JoeB"; the
formula referred to "Joe B". " where my formula has a space between Joe and
B, if that is the case just delete the space and it should work if the
formula is one the same sheet, I missed the part about "another spreadsheet"
so if you wnat the formula on another sheet try this
=SUMPRODUCT(('Incoming Calls'!A2:A10="Joe B")*('Incoming
Calls'!B2:B10="Complaint"))
if its in another workbook you will also have to refrence the workbook like
this
=SUMPRODUCT(('[Book2]Incoming Calls'!A2:A10="Joe B")*('[Book2]Incoming
Calls'!B2:B10="Complaint"))
