Default sumif or sumproduct?

Things have moved on, See
http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html for a detailed
explanation.

Not sure I can parse things right, but the first thing I observe is that a
SUMPRODUCT formula has two arrays separated by a comma, and I don't see

that
in your formula. I suspect it's completing the SUMPRODUCT by multiplying

by
a nonexistent second array and getting zero, then multiplying against the
second range.

Try redoing the formula to put your column 'B' inside the SUMPRODUCT.

I have a workbook with two active sheets. The second contains data and

I
want to use the first for summary information. The data is basically

dates
(in column A) and numbers in the other columns. Based on some of the

other
questions and answers here, I wrote the formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(((MONTH('Issue Detail'!$A3:$A275)=7)))*('Issue

Detail'!$B3:$B275).

Issue detail is the name of the second sheet; 7 is July; A3:A275 is the
column of dates (formatted as 07/03/06, etc.); and B3:B275 is one of the
columns of numbers.

Although the formula seemingly has no errors, The only result I am

getting
is 0.

I have been reading this forum for suggestions & guidance and, in

advance, I
want to say thanks for the past help.
