Your syntax is fine. What is the error?

Your formula will count blanks as <"Closed". If you don't want that,
one way is:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Val_RSK_Status<"Closed"), --(Val_RSK_Status<""),
--(Val_RSK_Owner="Jim"))

Hi All,

I am trying to use the following formula to count the number of entries that
are not Closed:-

=SUMPRODUCT((Val_RSK_Status<"Closed")*(Val_RSK_Ow ner="Jim"))

It produces a result, but not the right one - have I got the Syntex for Not
Equal to Right?

Thanks in advance

Andy
