this problem has succeeded is confusing me. (not really that hard to do)
Is the 75 the expected number for the sum of the AN column?
I have no clue why you would get a "Value" for the data copied to another
sheet.

I tried these as with the following results on the original sheet in my
workbook:
75
0

You are correct in that there is no data in BN. Next I copied all four of
these cells to another worksheet and in that sheet the results a
"#VALUE!"
0
"VALUE!"
0
At least it's consistent, but not as expected.

what do you get with just
=sumproduct(--([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000))
and
=sumproduct(--([Data.xls]A!$BN$2:$BN$5000))
and
=sumproduct((--([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000),--([Data.xls]A!$BN$2:$BN$5000))
and
=SUMPRODUCT(--([Data.xls]A!$H$2:$H$5000=Asia),--([Data.xls]A!$BN$2:$BN$5000))
assuming BN is blank
the reason I am asking is that the only ways I know to get an "#value with
sumproduct is to have a #Value error in one of the cells or when there are
unequal arrays.

Thanks bj,
What I get with both of these is"0".

is it just the AN column array you are having problems with, or the full
equation?
try a
=sumproduct(--iserror([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000))
if you get a 1 try
=sumproduct(--iserror([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000),row(([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000))
if you get more that 1 try reducing the range until you do get 1

Greetings,
Im looking for an explanation for something happening in Excel that I dont
understand. In a worksheet cell I have a formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--([Data.xls]A!$H$2:$H$5000=Asia),--([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000))
which works fine. Regardless of how I try to do it, I cant copy it to any
cell on any other worksheet without an error #VALUE! rising from the
--([Data.xls]A!$AN$2:$AN$5000)) array. I dont understand why I get an
error when I know the formula works fine.
Appreciate whatever help you can give me!
Jim
