Date value content format
I have the data below in different spreadsheets. I'm attempting to debug
"sumproduct" errors on one ofthe sheet. Tha same formula works fine in another sheet. =SUMPRODUCT((H3:H32="CLOSED")*(G3:G32E3:E32)) 11/19/07 0:00 11/19/07 0:00 11/2/07 19:10 11/19/07 0:00 11/12/07 23:59 11/12/07 16:25 11/19/07 0:00 11/12/07 23:59 11/12/07 16:25 11/26/07 0:00 11/21/07 23:59 11/20/07 15:47 11/26/07 0:00 11/20/07 23:59 11/20/07 16:05 11/26/07 0:00 11/21/07 23:59 11/20/07 17:03 |

Date value content format
Problem: The formula below returns correct value in one sheet and zero in another, on what "seems" to be the same data. How do I check date cell content is really the same in different sheets? SUMPRODUCT((H3:H32="CLOSED")*(G3:G32E3:E32)) I am looking for a correct way of comparing dates. Thank you. "Fred Smith" wrote: And the problem is? And the solution you are looking for is?

Date value content format
There must be a difference in the data. Things to look for:
1. Do you have "CLOSED" in at least one of the cells in H3:H32? 2. Is at least one of the cells in G3:G32 greater than E3:E32? 3. Are G3:G32 and E3:E32 true dates, or are they text masquerading as dates? (Easy test -- try to change the format of a cell)? If the formula works on one spreadsheet, but not on another, then the data must be different. Regards, Fred "adimar" wrote in message ...

In the second formula, the range is wrong. It should be (D22:D31="CLOSED"),
rather than C22:C31. In the third formula, you are not converting the true/false results to a number. Either multiply by 1 (as you did in the first formula), or use the more common double unary (--) to force the conversion. Hope this helps, Fred. "adimar" wrote in message ...
