Bob,
why do we need "--" between the brackets? I did this formulae as =SUMPRODUCT((A5:A10="X")*(B5:B10="C")) and this too worked fine, but again I don't know why I need to use " * " multiplication here. Please do let me know both the things. thanks Shail Bob Phillips wrote: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A5:A10="X"),--(B5:B10="C")) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "kmason" wrote in message ...
