You may need to change

to

Dim mQuestion1Range as Range
Dim mTimeRange as Range
Dim mPositionRange As Range

Not looked too closely at this but what sticks out a mile is the Dim

separately, otherwise those not explicitly typed will be variants:
Dim mTimeCriteria, mPositionCriteria As String
Dim mQuestion1Range, mTimeRange, mPositionRange As Range
becomes:
Dim mTimeCriteria As String, mPositionCriteria As

Dim mQuestion1Range As Range, mTimeRange As Range, mPositionRange As

Still guessing.. I would have thought that perhaps you're looking for
the likes of this:
MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(" & mTimeRange.Address
& " =""" & mTimeCriteria & """)*" & mQuestion1Range.Address & "
)")
instead of:
MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT( --(mTimeRange= " &
mTimeCriteria & ")*(mQuestion1Range) )")
Have you tried using SumProduct via:
Application.Worksheetfunction.Sumproduct
You supply ranges, strings etc. but you don't have to worry about
multiple quotation marks.

Sumproduct in VBA Type Mismatch problem
 

I had no problem when I copy-and-pasted the fragment of your macro, with the
following corrections.


Dim mQuestion1Range, mTimeRange, mPositionRange As Range

That works as-is. But I believe the following is better style, and there
will be situations where it can make a difference.

Dim mQuestion1Range as Range, mTimeRange as Range, mPositionRange As Range


Set mQuestion1Range = Worksheets("Data").Range("DataQuestion1")J

Remove the "J", an obvious typo.


MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT( --(mTimeRange= " & mTimeCriteria &
")*(mQuestion1Range) )")

Replace with:

MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT( --(" & mTimeRange.Address & "= """ & _
mTimeCriteria & """), " & mQuestion1Range.Address & ")")

The primary problems were the placements of quotes, the failure to use
..Address where appropriate, and the lack of quotes (in the Evaluate string)
around mTimeCriteria.

I replaced effectively "*(mQuestion1Range.Address)" with
",mQuestion1Range.Address". That is optional an style issue, a personal
choice if the mQuestion1Range.Address range has only numbers and truly
empty cells (i.e. no formula and no constant).

I wanted to make the same suggestion. But I could not make the syntax work
for the exact logic that DogLover wanted to evaluate.

Can you provide a working example using WorksheetFunction.SumProduct?

The working example must evaluate the following Excel equivalent, using the
variables in DogLover's posting:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(DataTime="First day..."),DataQuestion1)

where DataTime and DataQuestion1 are named ranges.

Sumproduct in VBA Type Mismatch problem
 

I think I have narrowed the problem down a little. I get a data type
mismatch message when I substitute the mQuestion1Range name in for the
actually range=Data!M3:M250. I commented out the first and it runs, then
when I use the range name there, I get the message. Is there something wrong
with my Dim or Set range statements for using a SUMPRODUCT.




Private Sub VBATEST_Click()

Dim mTimeCriteria, Var As Variant
Dim mQuestion1Range As Range
Dim mTimeRange As Range

mTimeCriteria = "First day of employment (Time 1)"
Set mTimeRange = Worksheets("Data").Range("DataTime")
Set mQuestion1Range = Worksheets("Data").Range("DataQuestion1")


mTimeCriteria = """" & mTimeCriteria & """"
' Var = Application.Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT((Data!G3:A250 =" & mTimeCriteria &
")*(Data!M3:M250))")

Var = Application.Evaluate("SUMPRODUCT((Data!G3:A250 =" & mTimeCriteria &
")*(mQuestion1Range))")
MsgBox (Var)

End Sub

Else

Notice that I used the with/end with structure -- even with the .evaluate
method. That means that the unqualified addresses (no workbook/worksheet names
included) will refer to that worksheet in the With statement.

If I had used Application.evaluate() or just Evaluate(), then the addresses
would have referred to the activesheet (if the code was in a General module).

I could have used:

mFormula = "SUMPRODUCT(--(" & mTimeRange.Address(external:=true) _
& "=" & Chr(34) & mTimeCriteria & Chr(34) _
& ")," & mQuestion1Range.Address(external:=true & ")"

res = application.evaluate(mFormula)

ps. Notice that those strings have to be surrounded by double quotes--just like
in a formula in a cell:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(a1:a10="First day of employment (Time 1)"),b1:b10)

Sumproduct in VBA Type Mismatch problem
 

I have totally simplified to see where the problem might be. Here is the
simplified code. I still get a data type mismatch. I think it is something
to do with the mQuestion1Range and mTimeRange. How would you rewrite this to
use Application.Worksheetfunction.Sumproduct??

Dim mTimeCriteria
Dim Var As Variant
Dim mQuestion1Range As Range
Dim mTimeRange As Range

mTimeCriteria = "First day of employment (Time 1)"
Set mTimeRange = Worksheets("Data").Range("DataTime")
Set mQuestion1Range = Worksheets("Data").Range("DataQuestion1")

MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(" & mTimeRange.Address & " =""" &
mTimeCriteria & """)*" & mQuestion1Range.Address & " )")


End Sub

With difficulty. I'll withdraw the suggestion and I'm with Joe User on
this one.

Sticking with Evaluate you could simplify the code by not having to set
variables to ranges by using the existing names directly in the formula,
as you would on the sheet:
MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(DataTime=""" &
mTimeCriteria & """)*DataQuestion1)")
So after removing everything extraneous to the evaluate line all you
need is:
Dim mTimeCriteria As String
mTimeCriteria = "First day of employment (Time 1)"
MsgBox Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(DataTime=""" & mTimeCriteria &
""")*DataQuestion1)")

This is so close to what I need, but I need to have multiple criteria and
cannot seem to find the right syntax. I feel fairly certain once I can
expand for 1 more, I can do the others.

Here is what I'm trying to do, but it suggest I am missing a parenthesis,
and just don't see it. What would the formula be to add an additional
criteria like this?

mFormula = "SUMPRODUCT(--(" & mTimeRange.Address _

It's not really the =sumproduct() formula that's wrong--it's your VBA syntax:

mFormula = "SUMPRODUCT(--(" & mTimeRange.Address _
& "=" & Chr(34) & mTimeCriteria & Chr(34) & ")," _
& "--(" & mPositionRange.Address _
& "=" & Chr(34) & mPositionCriteria & Chr(34) & ")," _
