Sumproduct Date Format Question
I have a date in cell a1 such as 09/08/09
I have a helper cell b1 that is =Text(a1,"YYYY") B1 displays 2009 In a cell b8, I have the following =sumproduct((year=b1)*(store=b3)* (sales) I get an error. When I simply enter the year into b1 without the text formula, I get the correct sumproduct results. What can I do to leave the text formula in? Excel 2007 Thanks a bunch everyone! |

Sumproduct Date Format Question
Reading between the lines, I'm guessing that the part about (year=b1)
is comparing a number with text string, something to be avoided. Maybe it'd help to use (year=VALUE(b1)) instead. Personally, my preference would be to use (year=YEAR(A1)) and dispense with b1 (if you don't need b1 for other things). If you keep b1, decide if it needs to be text =Text(a1,"YYYY") or numeric =YEAR(a1) On Oct 14, 11:36*am, wx4usa wrote: I have a date in cell a1 such as 09/08/09 I have a helper cell b1 that is =Text(a1,"YYYY") B1 displays 2009 In a cell b8, I have the following =sumproduct((year=b1)*(store=b3)* (sales) I get an error.

Sumproduct Date Format Question
change year=b1 to year=b1*1
or change the cell in B1 to read =YEAR(A1) so it's still numeric Bob Umlas Excel MVP "wx4usa" wrote in message ...

B1 displays 2009 The result of the TEXT formula is a *text* value even though it looks like the number 2009. So, you'd have to convert the text value 2009 to the numeric value 2009. One way to do that is like this: =--Text(a1,"YYYY") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "wx4usa" wrote in message ...
