I need to count the number of roles where either Capital or Expense > 0 (so if Cap+Exp > 0 then count it)

I am having difficulty with the equation portion

Using your posted example, this regular formula (copied down) seems to return what you're looking for:
Code: 
B11: =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$7=A11)*(($B$2:$B$7+$C$2:$C$7)>0))

edited to add this option...if offsetting values may net to zero:
Code: 
B11: =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$7=A11)*((($B$2:$B$7>0)+($C$2:$C$7>0))>0))
Is that something you can work with?

Thanks Ron, very helpful. Let me try to take this one step further.

Suppose I have 2 tables like the one above stacked on top of one another, with headers on top of each one. I tried to use the function your provided across both table ranges, but it gave a VALUE error, presumably because of the headers. Is there another way to do this? I have countifs, sumifs available since I am in Excel 2007.

Thanks for your help!

I can't duplicate your experience.
I inserted rows below the first "table" in your example and put a similar table there.
Then I changed the formula references....Correct values were returned.
Can you post a more detailed example?

It appears if you have headings in the range, it gives a #VALUE return, so the only way to achieve the result is to have a SUMPRODUCT for each section and I have many sections. It's not something where I can rearrange the sheet either.

Here is an example:

I was using the other formula you provided. =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$15=A19)*(($B$2:$B$15+$C$2:$C$15)>0))
This one returns a #VALUE , the other one works. Do you know why? Perhaps because in this one both operations in column B&C are done in one expression??

In the second formula, each row value was evaluated individually against zero...Not a problem.
But, in the first formula the two row values were summed...then evaluated.
Each time text is added to any other cell, the #VALUE is returned, crippling the results.
