Hi one way
try this array formula, confirm by Ctrl, Shift and Enter

assuming your data are from A2 to B6
in D1 = Lunch
in E1 = Dinner
in C2 = Saturday
in C3 = Sunday
place this in D2
=SUM(($A$2:$A$6=$C2)*($B$2:$B$6=D$1))
--

Let say, that your data are in columns A and B, the headers Days and Type
are in row 1:

I suggest you to first define names Days and Type. In Excel 2007 you first
select the range A1 :B1, then select whole database by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN ERROR. On the Formulas tab in the Defined Names group
click on Create From selection and then chose Top Row. You have now the
range A2: A6 named as Days and the range B2:B6 As Type.

Let say that you would like to begin your "Count matrix" in cell D2. Then
write in the cell as it is writen bellow:

D1 = "Day"
E1 = "Lunch"
F1 = "Dinner"
D2 = "Saurday"
D3 = "Sunday"

Now put in the cell E2 the formula: =COUNTIFS(Days,$D2,Type,E$1) and
copy the cell E2 into the cells F2, E3 and F1. You will get the result you
expect:

D E F
1 Day Lunch Dinner
2 Saturday 0 2
3 Sunday 2 1
