error with formula
I have the following formula which worked on original data
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Raw data'!$AF$1:$AF$5291="0001-01-01"),--('Raw data'!$L$1:$L$5291="railcomm1")) In using this for new data, the result comes back with an #N/A, yet all data is in the same place, but in a different order. It won't let me trace the error, and can't see why its wrong. Please help Column L Column AF RAILCOMM0 12/07/2006 RAILCOMM1 0001-01-01 RAILCOMM1 0001-01-01 BTCAR1 0001-01-01 BTCOMM1 0001-01-01 BTCOMM0 12/07/2006 BTCOMM1 0001-01-01 BTCOMM1 0001-01-01 BTCOMM0 12/07/2006 BTCOMM1 0001-01-01 BTCOMM1 0001-01-01 GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSCAR1 0001-01-01 GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSCAR1 0001-01-01 GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSCAR1 0001-01-01 |

error with formula
.. In using this for new data, the result comes back with an #N/A
Probably there's an #N/A somewhere within the new data in either cols L or AF which is throwing things off Try this instead: =SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("railcomm1",'Raw data'!$L$1:$L$5291))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("0001-01-01",'Raw data'!$AF$1:$AF$5291))))) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "holyman" wrote: I have the following formula which worked on original data =SUMPRODUCT(--('Raw data'!$AF$1:$AF$5291="0001-01-01"),--('Raw data'!$L$1:$L$5291="railcomm1")) In using this for new data, the result comes back with an #N/A, yet all data is in the same place, but in a different order.

Try also the suggested alternative. It'll work even if the data contained #N/As -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
