How about an array function:
A B C
1 Buy Grey 80
2 Buy Blue 80
3 Buy Grey 90
4 Sell Grey 100
5
6 Buy Grey 170 <-- {=SUM(IF(B1:B4=$B$6,1,0)*IF(C1:C4=$C$6,1,0)*D1:D4)}

I played around with the SUMIF function a little a couple of weeks ago.
As far as I could tell, you CAN'T do an AND statement within the SUMIF
function.
Although it's not as pretty as an AND within the SUMIF statement, you
could of course add a column D where D1 reads
=IF(and(A1="Buy",B1="Grey"),C1,"").
I ended up having to do something closer to my suggestion above, which
eliminates the SUMIF function altogether. If you find a way to use an
AND statement within the SUMIF please post it here.
Good luck,
Vance

Yikes! You're absolutely right, of course. I'll double check before I
post stuff from now on. Mea culpa.

=sumproduct(if(a1:Ax="Buy",1,0),if(b1:bx="Grey",1,0),c1:c10)
entered as an arry function (with ctrl-hift-enter)
should do the trick.
i think that array functions are one of the best features of excel,
and BY FAR TOO FEW people know about them.
