YES...i know that...

but why does it NOT work w/o a 3rd "bogus" array??

You could test if the value is a number like this:
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(C2:C7))*(C2:C71),(C2:C7))

Assume the following are in the cells, and I wish to add all values greater

A B C

5 abc

7 12

The following formula works:

=SUMPRODUCT((C2:C71)*(C2:C7<100),(C2:C7))

HOWEVER, if I remove the logical expression (C2:C7<100), then my formula
does NOT work because in cell C5 is a text value..

How can I use the sumproduct formula without inputting the unnecessary
array...C2:C7<100??

Thamk you,
