I have one column that has my tank numbers and my other column has the
dates entered for when tanks are opened. This formula works fine
counting the matching tanks with the amount of cells that have a date
entered (cells that are not blank):

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(AA9:AA1611<""))

What I need for my other column is a sumproduct formula that can
determine the difference between a date and a text. The previous
formula only will have a date or have a blank cell. This new column
will have a date or a text.
I have tried the following, but it either counts the text & date or
neither:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P1611DATE(2004,1,1)))
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(YEAR(P9:P1611)=2005))
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P16111))

The problem I'm sure is with the second part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure that I have got it, but I'll try this

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",P9:P16)))+(P9:P16DATE(2004,1,1)))-SUMPROD
UCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",P9:P16)))*(P9:P16DATE(2004,1,1)))

That formula dosen't work for my file because I only have tank numbers
in column A (8-121-2-J) and dates, blanks, & text in column P. That did
give me an idea to try the following and that works, but it's messy:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P1611DATE(2004,1,1)))-SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P1611="N/A"))-SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P1611="NO"))-SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P1611="Yes"))


I really need something on the end of the first example to determine
the difference between a date and text.

Your examples are confusing me, you first talked about dates and blanks in
the same column but gave examples of two columns, now you show an example
testing for N/A, No or Yes, which is neither date nor blank.

Are you trying to get items that meet the tank number in J where the date in
P is greater than a certain date? If so, where does blank come into it, as
these will fail the tank number test and/or the date greater test? And where
do these new values come into it?

The first column has the tank numbers 8-12-2-V, 8-121-4-J etc. & the
other column has dates, blanks, & text.
I want to use the sumproduct formula so it will determine the dates
from text and blanks.

I think that makes the blanks irrelevant then

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-J",A9:A1611)))*(P9:P1611DATE(2004,1,1))*(ISN
UMBER(P9:P1611)))
