There are no errors, but I am still coming up with the #VALUE! error message
using SUMPRODUCT(). I've tried a few things, changing the formula and using
a dummy dataset, but I couldn't figure out why I was getting the error.
Fortunately I found a SUMIF variation that worked instead, but I'm still
curious what's causing the error in SUMPRODUCT.

Personally, I would fix the data and ensure there are no errors there.

If any of the cells have VALUE errors, you'll get that message. Blank

cells
are OK. If the cell contains some text, you'll be fine with the way your
formula is written.

You can count error messages in a range with;

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISERROR(A1:A100))

I have a column of dates and a corresponding column of values that are
actually functions converting a foreign currency amount into USD. I

want
to
create a month-to-date total in a single cell by using SUMPRODUCT. What

I
am
using is:



=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR($A$15:$A$1000)=YEAR($C$7)),--(MONTH($A$15:$A$1000)=MONTH
($C$7)),$B$15:$B$1000)

But I am getting the #VALUE! error message. Some of the cells in the

dates
array are blank, and there may be a cell in the values array that has an
error because the values are functions themselves. How can I fix this?

If I
can assure that none of the cells in the value array have errors will

that
make it easier?
