With this data, my earlier suggested formula of
=SUMPRODUCT($E$2:$E$160<>"PO",$B$2:$B$160="Red",$D$2:$D$160="M")
gives the result zero, which appears to be what you need.

Job done?

4 = the total number of M shirts for Red.
So this
=SUMPRODUCT($E$2:$E$160<>"PO",$B$2:$B$160="Red",$D$2:$D$160="M")
is not matching the first section.

There are no Ms at all in your sample data. No-one can see four Red Ms and no-one can see if they have "PO" or not, so no-one can guess what you are doing wrong.

Maybe <> doesn't work on text?

Of course it does. My old friend William of Ockham tells me you shouldn't think this way.

This = TRUE.

No, it cannot be TRUE, since SUMPRODUCT() returns a numerical value, not a Boolean. Have you - inappropriately - set the format for the result cell to "Boolean value"?

There is only 1 PO and it is a Large.

"L" is not the same as "Large", of course.

If D column is set to M for medium, the value is FALSE.

Again, SUMPRODUCT() cannot give the result FALSE.

This one
=SUMPRODUCT($E$2:$E$160<>"PO",$B$2:$B$160="Red",$D$2:$D$160="L")
also = TRUE.

Set the format of the result cell to a numeric one.

There are Large Red jerseys without PO but it doesn't count them.

I cannot see those.

You sent me a private message, which I therefore replied to privately. I suggested there that one problem could be that some of your cells that appear to be "OP" or "Red" or whatever actually contain something different - perhaps just having trailing spaces.

I trust this helps.
