sumproduct text if
the problem is that it is reading the NA or a blank in the special pricing
column and returning a zero. since the IF function relates to "" or "NA", it
is not catching them.
Unfortunately, "" or "NA" is not the same as 0 which is a special price in
certain cases.
there must be some way of getting it to return a text value?

If you mean a real blank, (ie and empty cell), not an empty string, (ie "")
then
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(<Your data for special rate)=0,SUMPRODUCT(<Your data for
standard rate),SUMPRODUCT(<Your data for special rate))

for a bunch of calling destinations, i have two price lists. The first
price
list is special rates which applies only to half the destinations. The
second price list is standard that applies to all.
Now i have a call list column which is a list of calls with call
destinations that are in two columns (destination, type of call- eg fixed
or
mobile).
I want to pull the rate for each call in the call list against the special
price list. But if the special price list is blank (because there is no
special rate- this is not the same as 0) then i want it to revert to the
standard price list.
Right now, i am using sumproduct to check both the destination country and
type of call in the call list, against the same in the price list and it
returns the standard price correctly.
I can't seem to apply it with an IF() formula for the special pricing if
the
lookup pulls a blank.
Thanks
