Or, you could use this non-array version.

Normally entered:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Master!$A$6:$A$504="January"),--(Master!$C$6:$C$504="LBK"),Master!$H$6:$H$504)

Better to use cells to hold the criteria:

A1 = January
B1 = LBK

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Master!$A$6:$A$504=A1),--(Master!$C$6:$C$504=B1),Master!$H$6:$H$504)

It's an array formula. If you array-enter it in the cell, ie press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of just pressing ENTER, it'll return the correct
result. Just click inside the formula bar again, then press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
If you do it correctly, Excel will wrap curly braces around the formula:
{ }.
You should see these braces in the formula bar as a visual check that the
formula is correctly array entered.
