I tried that already but I get #VALUE error. I dont mind using 20000 but it
is a bit inelegant

Also, will SUMIFS work?

Hi,
you have to change C , D and E as well, all the ranges in the formula has to
be the same

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(B:B,"mmyyyy")="012008"),--(C:C="Motor"),(D:D+E:E))

I have had some very useful help from Jacob on an older version of Excel
where he sorted my problem out with SUMPRODUCT (see Problem with Syntax?
posted below):

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(B2:B20000,"mmyyyy")="012008"),--(C2:C20000="Motor"),(D2:D20000+E2:E20000))

The above formula works great, but I have two questions for Excel 2007 users:
1. If I convert B2:B20000 to B:B, why do I get a #VALUE error
2. Will SUMIFS do the above and if so, how?

Thanks
