Problems with SUMPRODUCTS
Hi I have some problems with the function SUMPRODUCT, because when using and expression like =SUMPRODUCT((D2:D490="John")*(I2:I490)) if there is any empty cell it returns #VALUE so how do I set a condition for a complete series of columns, something to eliminate de blank cells and put 0 on it in orther to make the function works. -- John21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John21's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36983 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=569994 |

That shouldn't give an error here, it just fails to match. You are more
likely to get a #VALUE! error if I2:I490 has a text item, try this =SUMPRODUCT(--(D2:D490="John"),I2:I490) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "John21" wrote in message ...

The problem is not empty cells; the problem is cells in your column I range
which have text (any non-numerical value, such as a space). Convert all the column I data to numbers in another column (J, for example), then change your SUMPRODUCT formula to use the column J range. Enter the following in J2 and copy down through all rows of data: =IF(ISNUMBER(I2),I2,0) Hope this helps, Hutch "John21" wrote: Hi I have some problems with the function SUMPRODUCT, because when using and expression like =SUMPRODUCT((D2:D490="John")*(I2:I490)) if there is any empty cell it returns #VALUE so how do I set a condition for a complete series of columns, something to eliminate de blank cells and put 0 on it in orther to make the function works. -- John21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John21's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36983 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=569994 |
