How do I write spreadsheet function that references multiple variables for email tracking?

I am trying to learn how to create functions in a Google Spreadsheet that I will be using to track success rate of template emails. Here is the example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AppkK6kryA8qdGNuTmtjdXZiUklBZEg1N3JWMWpmcmc&usp=sharing

What would the functions be for 'Template Tracking' page in C2, D2 and E2?

Essentially if a value exists in 'Email Tracking' column D then count it (if nothing there, then don't) and the create sum in appropriate place on 'Template Tracking' page based on 'Template #' in 'Email Tracking' column C.

For basic example, I used the function

=countIf('Email Tracking'!C:C;"Template #1")

for Column B of 'Template Tracking' page

...it seems to work great for what I am looking for, though cannot seem to process 'zero' quantity (puts 1 instead). Any ideas of a workaround for that?

Greatly appreciate your help.
