That ought to be ...
=SUMPRODUCT((C2:C6<1000)*(B2:B6="red"))

Doesn't work in Excel 2002?

I copied everything verbatim into excel but this doesn't work. I have Excel 2002. The returned result is zero, but it looks like the correct answer should be 2. Does this only work in Excel 2003?

The correct formula is

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:C6<1000)*(B2:B6="red"))
