SumProduct
Hi
You will always get zero's. That's the way Sumproduct works.
It is multiplying arrays of True or False for each of the 2 tests it is
being given times the set of values in column D.
The True's are coerced to 1 and the False's to 0.
The multiplication of
1*1*Value in column D will produce the value
but any other combination of
0*1*Value
1*0*Value
0*0*Value
is bound to produce a result of 0
You can either suppress ALL 0's with the methods suggested by J Latham
and Toppers, but there is no case where an answer is Null for you to be
able to show it as Null as opposed to Zero.
You can also suppress all zero's if you wish through ToolsOptionsView
untick Zero values.

My formula is:
SUMPRODUCT(--($A$3:$A$54="Business"),--($B$3:$B$54="Week
10"),$D$3:$D$54)
The thing is: I need it to display zero when the fomula picks up the
value
zero. But even if the formula pick up blanks, this formula will return
a
zero. That's the problem, please help!
Thank you.

One typical way of dealing with something returning zero or an error
is by
enclosing the operational portion within an if statement and
returning "" if
a specific condition occures, otherwise perform the operation.
Something
like this:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(...)=0,"",SUMPRODUCT(...))
where SUMPRODUCT(...) is your formula that works other than returning
and
displaying zero when you don't want to see that.

I have a sumproduct formula that return zero, I tried to add
ISBLANK, ISNA, ISERROR
but couldn't replace the zeros with blanks.
Are there any other ways?
Thank you.
