COUNTIF with multiple criteria, referencing another sheet


I am trying to use a COUNTIF formula that will allow me to count the number of status items (status column) linked the Helen (name column) that are marked as complete. Essentially, I want to be able to count how many status items Helen has completed.


Can someone assist with this forumla? Each time I try, I get a parsing error.

    In my answer, you would want to match the "Helen" to the full value that you have in that cell, as I believe that you marked out Helen's last name. This formula will also include any new values that are added for helen, when they are marked complete.
