here's my formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A4:A13="beef"),--(C4:C13="0"),B4:B13)
it returns: 0

There could be several reasons why the formula is not
returning the correct value. Post your SUMPRODUCT formula
and the value it is returning along with the value it
*should* return.

Ok, I'm trying to find the value of items within a
column that meet two
criteria.

For example:

Col A contains type (either "beef" or "cheese"
or "Lemons")
Col B contains cost (number)
Col C contains grade (0,1,2)

I want to add up the total cost of all the grade 0 beef.

I tried the sumproduct thing and I couldn't get it to
work.

any help would be much appreciated!
