i had to do it like this
in column B put
=MOD(Row(),3)
this gives a 0 for rows, 3,6,9 ....
then in another cell
=SUM((B1:B100=0)*(A1:A100="A"))
entered as an array formula
this, B1:B100=0 , is what gives values for every third row and this
A1:A100="A", counts A's
the array formula thus counts where col B=0 and Col A is "A"
