SUMPRODUCT problems...argh...
Hello, once again, I have to read 4 columns of info and count the records.
Here's the formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(DropCode_Log!$B$10:$B$400=Totals!$A$17)*(DropCode _Log!$C$10:$C$400=Totals!$A19)*(DropCode_Log!$D$10 :$D$400=Totals!B$18)--(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK")) Where Column B are dates, Column C are categories, Column D is a 2nd category, and Column G are codes... What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance... |

try this...
=SUMPRODUCT(--(DropCode_Log!$B$10:$B$400=Totals!$A$17), --(DropCode_Log!$C$10:$C$400=Totals!$A19), --(DropCode_Log!$D$10:$D$400=Totals!B$18), --(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK")) -- HTH...

Well, you do have a comma missing before the second --, and also I
don't think you need the first --. Actually, you don't need the second -- if you change it to *, so try this: =SUMPRODUCT((DropCode_Log!$B$10:$B$400=Totals!$A$1 7)*(DropCode_Log!$C $10:*$C$400=Totals!$A19)*(DropCode_Log!$D$10:$D$40 0=Totals!B $18)*(DropCode_Log!*$G$10:$G$400="SIK")) Hope this helps.

I would have thought you wanted either

You should separate either with * or with ,-- You didn't need the double unary minus in front of the first term when you used the * operator to combine it with the second term. Double unary minus is there to force an arithmetic operation to convert from Boolean to a number, but as you've got an arithmetic operation anyway you don't need double unary minus as well. You can get away with mixing and matching commas and multiplications, but you need one or the other, and your *(DropCode_Log!$D$10:$D$400=Totals!B$18)--(DropCode_Log!$G$10:$G$400="SIK") is unlikely to be what you want.

It's not counting the last condition correctly with everything else i.e.

Perhaps in your column G you have something else beyond the "SIK" (perhaps
spaces or other non-printing characters). Try a couple of helper columns =G10="SIK" should give TRUE if you really have "SIK", and =LEN(G10) should give 3 if you have "SIK". Another simple thing to overlook could be if you had not "SIK" but "S1K" or "SlK". -- David Biddulph "Cita" wrote in message ...
