Default Conditional Sum Problem

It works for me if I have just one condition. If I leave out the Report="Y"
condition its fine. So I agree that there appears to be something wrong
with the way the named range is set up BUT it also doesn't work if I replace
the name with the range. I also tried swapping Y and N for 1 and 0 but this
didn't work either. Is there anything else I should look at in terms of the
way the range is named?

Cheers,

Andrew.

Andrew,

It works fine for me with that data. Are you sure the names are correctly
setup. Try it with actual ranges rather than names.

I have three columns of data something like this:

A B C
1 Balance Report Product Type
2 3,000 Y Oranges
3 1,000 N Oranges
4 4,000 N Apples
5 500 Y Pears
6 2,500 N Pears
7 8,000 Y Oranges

Range A2:A7 is named "Balance", B2:B7 is named "Report" and C2:C7 is

named
"Product_Type".

I am trying the following:

=SUMPRODUCT((Balance)*(Product_Type="Oranges")*(Re port="Y"))

The result I am getting is #N/A and I can't figure out what I am doing
wrong.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Andrew.
