The two ranges are not the same size
E103:P114 is 12 by 12 while E98 by P98 is 12 by 1

Any errors in any of those cells?

And non-numeric data in the first range?

I think I figured out the problem here. Some cells in the first column on
the range E103:P114 are blank. Entering 0 in those blank cells eliminated
the error.

Turns out that the issue is some of the cells in the left-most column of the
range E103:P114 were blank; changing these blank cells to 0 eliminated the
problem.

Non-numeric, yes. Blanks, to be specific. See my responses to Bob and

Dave, assuming I have blank and text in the range the sumproduct formula is

the associated error by modifying the sumproduct formula? Thanks. Steve C

I agree with Bob, I couldn't duplicate your problem.

BUT ... now we can get into XL semantics ... where I have a disagreement
with Harlan.

What do *you* mean by "blank"
That is, as opposed to "empty".

Do you have formulas that equate to zero length strings ( "" or nulls)?
That *to me* is "blank".
OR
Do the cells contain *nothing* ... truly virgin?
That to me is *empty*.

I couldn't duplicate your problem with *EMPTY* cells within E103:P114.
Your original formula worked perfectly.

However, when I entered zero length strings ( "" ), your formula returned
the #VALUE! error.

If you have formulas that equate to zero length strings ( "" or nulls)
within the data range, and you might wish to keep those cells *blank* in
appearance, as opposed to displaying 0's, you might try this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((E98:P98="Project")*(E103:P114<""),E1 03:P114)

See RagDyer's response. Blank cells do not cause a problem, but spaces or

Rag--re semantics: as far as I can tell the cells were zero length strings,
which, to me, seems empty. The workbook was inherited from someone else and
perhaps these cells originally contained something.

I have no idea.

But as I say, inserting 0 into these blank/empty/null/whatever cells
eliminated the problem.

BTW, I couldn't get the suggestion that you made to work, on the basis that
