Default why does this formula return a #VALUE! error

Yes, the "Left" coast, among these "dang" Liberals in the L.A. area.

Heck ... now I've revealed my politics as well as my address!<bg

BTW, I couldn't get the suggestion that you made to work, on the basis
that
the numbers returned the #VALUE, so trying to outsort it in a condition
made
no difference. Will re-try that also.

See RagDyer's response. Blank cells do not cause a problem, but

spaces
or
cells with zero-length strings do. You can circumvent with

=SUMPRODUCT((N(E103:P314))*(E98:P98="Project"))

Dave, assuming I have blank and text in the range the sumproduct

formula
is
pulling from, and that I can't change the ranges, is there anyway to
avoid
the associated error by modifying the sumproduct formula? Thanks.

Any errors in any of those cells?

And non-numeric data in the first range?

Formula is: =SUMPRODUCT((E103:P114)*(E98:P98="Project"))

Should return 0. But I also get the error if there are values
greater
than
zero in the range which meet the criteria.

Thanks, Dave
