This formula counts how many times the combination of Barry and Y appear in
rows 1 - 5:

=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B5="Barry")*(G1:G5="Y"))

In a helper column, say X, put =b2&G2 and copy down as far as you have data
in B and G

Then in Z1 put

=countif(X:X,"BarryY")

Try...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B100="Barry"),--(G1:G100="Y"))
