This one seems to work:
((NOT(ISERROR((RawData!$AF$1:$AF$10000-1RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000)))

Is this correct?

Your problem is elsewhere. If a cell is blank and you subtract 1 from it,
you get -1. If a cell contains text, and you subtract -1 from it you get
#VALUE
Do you have some cells containing text in your range?

Yes, that's correct - I have some 4600 records in RawData (equal to
number
of ADs) and some 3000 non-blank AFs.

How then can I change the formula to allow for blank date fields in AF.
ADs
should always be non-blank but if there's a way to check for that, that
would
be great.


Thank you.

Looks like in $AF$1:$AF$10000 you have non-numerics so that when the
"-1"
is attempted, Excel sees a #value error. Do a =COUNT($AF$1:$AF$10000)
to
see how many numeric cells there are and do a
=SUMPRODUCT(--($AF$1:$AF$10000<"") to see how many non-blank cells
there
are. If you have only numbers in that range, both functions should
produce
the same number. If they don't you have some non-numerics in your
range.

This one works:
=SUMPRODUCT((RawData!$B$1:$B10000=40)*(RawData!$AA $1:$AA$10000={"aa","bb","cc"})*(RawData!$AG$1:$AG$ 10000="CLOSED")*(RawData!$P$1:$P$10000="CLOSED")*( RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000=CalculatedData!F2)*(RawDa ta!$AD$1:$AD$10000<=CalculatedData!F3)*(RawData!$A F$1:$AF$10000RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000)*((ISNUMBER( MATCH(RawData!$E$1:$E$10000,Definitions!$B$3:$B$6, 0)))))

This one returns #VALUE error, see next to last multiplier:
=SUMPRODUCT((RawData!$B$1:$B10000=40)*(RawData!$AA $1:$AA$10000={"aa","bb","cc"})*(RawData!$AG$1:$AG$ 10000="CLOSED")*(RawData!$P$1:$P$10000="CLOSED")*( RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000=CalculatedData!F2)*(RawDa ta!$AD$1:$AD$10000<=CalculatedData!F3)*(RawData!$A F$1:$AF$10000-1RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000)*((ISNUMBER(MATCH(RawDat a!$E$1:$E$10000,Definitions!$B$3:$B$6,0)))))


Thank you.

Thank you for the explanation. Yes, this makes sense and works for
a
quick
test I did.

But I have one example that I don't know how to fix.
Since this one works fine:
RawData!$AF$1:$AF$10000RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000

Why does this return a #VALUE error?
RawData!$AF$1:$AF$10000-1RawData!$AD$1:$AD$10000

Thank you.

You can subtract the dates. For example =IF(B1-A1=1,"Dates are
at
least
1
day apart","Dates are the same day"). This formula assumes there
are
valid
dates in A1 and B1 as it does no checking. Excel maintains dates
and
times
as numbers. The integral part of the number is the day, the
fractional
part
the time. For example Feb. 1, 2008 12:00 PM, noon, is 39479.5
Jan.
1,
1900
is day 1. So Feb 1, 2008 is day 39,479. The .5 represents 12/24.
12:00
AM,
midnight, is 0.0 3:00 AM is 3/24 = 0.125 3:00 PM is 15/24 =
0.625

For the data below B1A1 is true.

A B
12/3/07 11:48 AM 12/3/07 1:26 PM

How do I check the dates are at least 1 day apart, or 24 hours
apart?
I am looking for a check to inlcude in a sumproduct, using
external
sheet
reference, like:

SUMPRODUCT((SourceData!$A$1:$A$1000="Completed")*( ShippingData!$C$1:$C$1000-ShippingData!$D$1:$D$100001))

where C and D contain Scheduled date and Shipped date.

Also I am trying to avoid reformatting the source data or
adding
suplementary, intermediate columns.

Thank you.
