Default All about numbers

Hi Max,
It worked on my test file BUT on the actual file (which extends the rows to
800), it doesn't seem to be working.

I realised that the cells in reference has formulas within them (all four
columns per below). Eg Column A =IF(ISBLANK(Fix!A7),"",Fix!A7)

Is this a problem?

One way
Assume data as posted within A1:D8
Placed in say, F1:
=SUMPRODUCT((C1:C8=0)*(D1:D8=0)*(C1:C8<"")*(D1:D8 <"")*(A1:A8-B1:B80))

The "additional" conditions: .. *(C1:C8<"")*(D1:D8<"")*
are precautions taken since blank cells are evaluated as zeros

I have the following table:

A B C D
3 1 0.5 0
2 2 0 0.5
3 2 0 0
0 1 0.5 0
1 0 0 0
2 1 0 1
1 2 0.5 0
4 1 0 1.5

The formula required is to:
1) check if any row in column C has 0 (zero) and see corresponding cell in
column D also has 0 (zero). Table above shows row 3 and 5.
2) if matches, then check if (cell A - cell B) of the same row where the
above condition is true returns a positive value.
3) if a positive value is returned, then count it. Above example will return
a value of 2 (both occurences of 0 in C3 & C5).

Can anyone help?
