Hi,

Tell us what 'not working' means. Are you getting a #VALUE! error?

If you are then I suspect that some of your numbers aren't numbers and are
really text.

Try this formula in an empty column and drag down
=ISNUMBER(L2)

If your numbers in column L are really numbers then it wiil return TRUE. If
it returns FALSE then they aren't numbers.

Put a 1 in a cell and copy it. Select column L and then

Edit|Paste special - select 'Multiply' OK and try the formula again

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Thanks for your reply Mike. The ^is before the letters in the Details page. I
tried taking it out and it does not work either.

Below is returning a "0"
=SUMPRODUCT((Detail!A2:A12440 ="C")*(Detail!M2:M12440 ="")*(Detail!L2:L12440))

If I take in less rows, (tried using just 6 as test), it worked. When I do
all of the data is failing.

Hi,

Try this

=SUMPRODUCT((Detail!B2:B12440="C")*(Detail!M2:M124 40="")*(Detail!L2:L12440))

I don't understand what you were trying to do with "^C" in your formula. If
this doesn't work please explain

I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days.
I have 2 criterias that need to be met and then I want the total of a column.
I am trying to get a total of each region with notes and without notes.


Col A is region
Col M are notes on accts
Col L are dollars

A M L

1. C Notes in field 3.15
2. W Blank 100.50
3. NE Notes in field 600.00

Here is my formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((Detail!$A2:$A12440 ="^C"),(Detail!$M2:$M12440
=""),(Detail!L2:L12440))

It is returning 0. If I play with the formula and change the , to -- then it
does return a value, but one that is not correct.
I also tried filling in the BLANKS of column M with a word and that did not
help.
Please any help is appreciated.
