Default Sumproduct with two criteria

I was going to say, I don't believe sumproduct will return an #N/A unless the
value is in the range to be summed as N/A is the result of a failed lookup.
You could account for the possibility in the sumproduct formula, but it is
probably better to take care of it at its source. Many people wrap their
lookup formula in a ISNA function .. =isna(vlookup( ...), "", vlookup( ...))
which basically says if the value returned from the vlookup is #N/A then
return Null else return the vlookup value.

I saw something on a related forum this morning that I thought was clever.
It was basically =if(countif(range, criteria) 0, vlookup(criteria, range,
2, false) , 0)
Though I would probably use "" rather than 0 (for the value to be returned
if criteria not found.

The suggestion was from Jim ...(don't remember his last name, hold on.)

Thanks for the help but I am still getting an NA. I traced the error and
there is an NA in the I column but that does not meet my criteria.

I should be able to do this by now but I keep getting an #NA error. I am
trying to use this sumproduct formula
=SUMPRODUCT(($I$7:$I$2585=921),--($L$7:$L$2585="Fb")--(AS7:AS2585)) where I
am looking up store #"921" and Attribute "fb and sum where these two criteria
meet. The column I want to sum is AS7:As285. What am I doing wrong.
