Default Formula Problem

Thanks guys for all of your help. I haven't figured it out yet, but I'll
keep plugging away at it. It is something in the text field. I have been
able to rule the number out.

Thanks again!!

Are you sure that the relevant entry in column AH contains "Bus Jet OEM" and
nothing else? Are there odd spaces or other non-printing characters?
Does =LEN(AH4) or whatever the row number is, show 11?

If you are still struggling you can debug the two halves separately by using
the formulae
=('Shipped against rqd Nov08'!AH4="Bus Jet OEM")
and =('Shipped against rqd Nov08'!AP40)
and copying them down the columns checking for TRUE or FALSE

I am having trouble with a formula. Most of the time it calculates
correctly. It is a sumproduct formula which is supposed to count cells in
a
range which are greater than 0 if the cells in a different range (column)
contain a certain word. Ie. count all cells in range XX if cells in
range
YY = specific text. For some reason it does not count a few lines in the
spreadsheet. It comes back with 32 when it should show 33 etc. I have
narrowed down which rows are a problem - I'm just wondering if anyone has
any
ideas why the formula would not count a certain row. Is it a formatting
issue? What things should I check for?? What kinds of things would cause
it
to bring back an incorrect value?

Thanks very much!

Formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--('Shipped against rqd Nov08'!$AH$4:$AH$527="Bus
Jet
OEM"),--('Shipped against rqd Nov08'!AP$4:AP$5270))
