SUMPRODUCT help
I'm trying to use the SUMPRODUCT trick to count occurrences of multiple
match criteria. With simple conditions like checking if a cell in a range is 0, the trick works fine. Even with LEFT, MID functions it works fine... A2 = 1st criteria B2 = 2nd criteroa B50:Q800 = range of cells to search =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($B$50:$Q$800,1)=TEXT($A2,"0")),--(MID($B$50:$Q$800,3,3)=LEFT($B2,3))) WORKS <<< What I can't get to work is if I want to use the FIND (or SEARCH) as one of the criteria to see if each cell contain the search text: =SUMPRODUCT(--(FIND($B2,$B50:$Q800)0)) DOESN'T WORK <<< Are there only certain functions that work with the SUMPRODUCT trick? Any Ideas on how to do a search text as part of a SUMPRODUCT criteria? Thanks! |

SUMPRODUCT help
The following appears to work:
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(FIND("blah",A1:A10))) Note, I did not use your range or criteria, but I believe you were mainly interested in the concept. -- Kevin Vaughn " wrote: I'm trying to use the SUMPRODUCT trick to count occurrences of multiple match criteria.

SUMPRODUCT help
The FIND will return a number if it matches, an error if not. SO wrap it in
ISNUMBER to check if it is a number, and you'll get your TRUE/FALSE values to coerce in SP. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) wrote in message ups.com...
