What is "--" in Excel Formula (SUMPRODUCT)
I am trying to understand a formula and cannot find Excel documetnation on what the "--" (operator ?) means in Excel 2010. Can someone give me a brief explanation and point me to some documentation where I can at least understand what this is called? I used to think I knew excel pretty well!
Here is a sample formula where it is used along with a number of named ranges/arrays: SUMPRODUCT(--(Planner_Type="I"),--(Planner_Category=Dashboard!$R20),INDIRECT($D$22)) *Filter_Currency_ExchangeRate |
