Default a stuborne formula - that just won't work

The following formula works great:

=SUMPRODUCT(--('Filled Reqs'!$R$2:$R$389=("08/01/07"+0)),--('Filled
Reqs'!$R$2:$R$389<("09/01/07"+0)),--('Filled Reqs'!$B$2:$B$389="am
compliance"),--('Filled Reqs'!$I$2:$I$389="NC"))

It displays points on a graph like it should for 24 out of the 26 depts.
After I copied from 1 cell all the way down and changed the dept names I
pressed CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER for each, { } displays in the array. It displays 0
in 2 of the cells. I tried re-copy, delete the cell and retype the formula
nothing seems to work. In order to present the chart I've manually had to
calculate what should be in the cell and entered it, which replaces the
formula that was there .

Any thoughts of why this doesn't work all the time ???????

SUMPRODUCT is not an array function; enter it normally
Does this help?
