Default Excel Formula

Make sure the workbook with the sheet you are calculating is open, then
instead of typing in the sheet name and cell range select first the sheet
tab and then the range and you will get the correct name. Since there is a
space the sheet name it would have to look like

=SUMPRODUCT(('Procedure Tracking'!A2:A58="Smith")*('Procedure
Tracking'!F2:F58="N"))


or


=SUMPRODUCT(--('Procedure Tracking'!A2:A58="Smith"),--('Procedure
Tracking'!F2:F58="N"))


see the apostrophes

Thanks for the treminology. As you can see Excel is not my strong point!!

I have tried to use the suggestion below and have entered
=SUMPRODUCT((Procedure Tracking!A2:A58="Smith")*(Procedure
Tracking!F2:F58="N"))

However, I am getting an error message #NAME?. I have checked that the
Sheet
names are correct, no mispellings etc. Any ideas please?

Thanks

Rachael

Hi,

First a bit of terminology. You have worksheets in a workbook and not
tabs
in a worksheet. A worksheet has one tab and it displays the name of the
worksheet and provide a few bits of functionality. Having got that right
try
this

=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet2!A2:A5="Smith")*(Sheet2!C2:C5=" N"))

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me with the following problem.

I have two tabs within a worksheet. The second has a number of colums
including those shown below:

Name Date Value
Smith 11/12 N
Jones 11/05 D
Smith 11/20 D
Smith 11/08 N

I want to display (on the first tab) a total of how many times the Name
=
Smith and the Value = N, which should return a value of 2 from the
example
above. However, I can't get anything to work.

Any help would really be appreciated
