The following array formula works:

{=SUM((FREQUENCY(MATCH(A3:A12,A3:A12,0)*B3:B12,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTA(A3:A12))))>0)+0)}

The only question is: "Have I overengineered this thing?"

Found a bug...look'n for a fix

If B3 is set to 0 it still returns 3!

Okay, this should do it!

{=SUM((FREQUENCY(IF(B3:B12,MATCH(A3:A12,A3:A12,0),""),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTA(A3:A12))))>0)+0)}
