Congratulations on winning the gold medal for the most unhelpful reply of
the week.

Thanks David. The "SIK" is part of a drop-down list...I'll try your
suggestion with the helper columns and LEN...

Perhaps in your column G you have something else beyond the "SIK"
(perhaps
spaces or other non-printing characters).
Try a couple of helper columns =G10="SIK" should give TRUE if you
really
have "SIK", and =LEN(G10) should give 3 if you have "SIK".
Another simple thing to overlook could be if you had not "SIK" but
"S1K" or
"SlK".

It's not counting the last condition correctly with everything else
i.e.
--(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK")). I get 0's where I should have
numbers.

Also, I used the first part of this formula (without the "SIK"
condition)
as
it is written and it works...

Thanks guys...but I had tried all these variations before I posted
and
I
still can't get them to work.

Any other suggestions? Maybe a different combination of functions?

Thanks.

I would have thought you wanted either
=SUMPRODUCT(--(DropCode_Log!$B$10:$B$400=Totals!$A$17),--(DropCode_Log!$C$10:$C$400=Totals!$A19),--(DropCode_Log!$D$10:$D$400=Totals!B$18),--(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK"))
or
=SUMPRODUCT((DropCode_Log!$B$10:$B$400=Totals!$A$1 7)*(DropCode_Log!$C$10:$C$400=Totals!$A19)*(DropCo de_Log!$D$10:$D$400=Totals!B$18)*(DropCode_Log!$G$ 10:$G$400="SIK"))

You've separated the last 2 terms with --. You should separate
either
with
* or with ,--

You didn't need the double unary minus in front of the first term
when
you
used the * operator to combine it with the second term.
Double unary minus is there to force an arithmetic operation to
convert
from
Boolean to a number, but as you've got an arithmetic operation
anyway
you
don't need double unary minus as well.

You can get away with mixing and matching commas and
multiplications,
but
you need one or the other, and your
*(DropCode_Log!$D$10:$D$400=Totals!B$18)--(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK")
is unlikely to be what you want.
It would behave as
*(DropCode_Log!$D$10:$D$400=Totals!B$18)+(DropCode _Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK")

Hello, once again, I have to read 4 columns of info and count
the
records.
Here's the formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(DropCode_Log!$B$10:$B$400=Totals!$A$17)*(DropCode _Log!$C$10:$C$400=Totals!$A19)*(DropCode_Log!$D$10 :$D$400=Totals!B$18)--(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK"))

Where Column B are dates, Column C are categories, Column D is
a 2nd
category, and Column G are codes...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...
