Can someone check this formula please?
Hi, I am using the following formula: - =SUMPRODUCT((Names!$A$2:$A$351="01/03/2006")*(Names!$E$2:$E$3510)) the idea being that it checks A1 to A351 for the date (in this case 01/03/2006) and then returns the total number of occurances. Problem is ... it don't work!! (Obvious being as I wrote it!!) Can anyone help, please?

The specific reason why your formula did not work is because "01/03/2006" is
being evaluated as a TEXT string and not a numeric DATE. Don's suggestion is the best option to use but here are a couple of others: =SUMPRODUCT((Names!$A$2:$A$351=--"2006/01/03")*(Names!$E$2:$E$3510)) =SUMPRODUCT((Names!$A$2:$A$351=DATE(2006,1,3))*(Na mes!$E$2:$E$3510)) Biff "y_not" wrote in message ...
