FYI, you can test a number of particular values like so

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2:A20,{2000,2010,2020,2030,2040}, 0))),B2:B20)

Good morning Everybody,

My CFO asked me to see if I could find a way to save us a lot of time and
work by finding an excel formula that will do the following. I would
greatly
appreciate any assistance.

Suppose you have sample values like this:
A B
2000 (20,000)
2040 -
9000 (29,000)
2010 100,000
2030 -
9010 20,000
9020 -
9040 400000

We would like to use a formula that can do this:

Search Column A from A1 to A20 for a range of values (e.g. 2000 to 2090),
For all values within this range, sum their Column B Components in a
single
cell somewhere on the spreadsheet, say N2. So in this example, two values
are
null so (20,000) and 100,000 would be summed in N2.

I tried using SumProduct. I can get SumProduct to work if I use only one
test range:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A8=2000),(B1:B8))
But this only tests for one of the values in the range between 2000 and
2090
and
Returns a value of -20,000 (which is correct but excludes the rest of the
range).

I also tried using an operator, but am not certain of the proper syntax. I
experimented w/ these:


=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A8=2000),--(A1:A8=2010),--(A1:A8=2030),--(A1:A8=2040),B1:B
8)
Returns a 0 value


=SUMPRODUCT(OR(--(A1:A8=2000),--(A1:A8=2010),--A1:A8=2030),--A1:A8=2040),B1:
B8)
Doesn't work, generates error message

=SUMPRODUCT(OR(A1:A8=2000,A1:A8=2010,A1:A8=2030,A1 :A8=2040),B1:B8)
Generates "#Value"

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A8=OR(2000,2010,2030,2040)),B1:B8)
Returns a 0 value

Please advise.

Cordially,
