Countif works, Sumproduct doesn't
I have two functions here. The sumproduct function is just adding one more
set of criteria to look at when counting. =COUNTIF(D:D,"*"&A1&"*") =SUMPRODUCT((E1:E1000<EDATE(TODAY(),-6))*(D1:D1000="*"&A1&"*")) Why does the Countif function work, but when I used it in a Sumproduct function, it gives me zero? I know there should me more than zero. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks, Jennifer |

Sumproduct won't work with wildcards in that manner.
Try it this way: =SUMPRODUCT((E1:E1000<EDATE(TODAY(),-6))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A1,D1:D1000)))) Biff "Jennifer" wrote in message ... I have two functions here.

Because SP doesn't support wildcards
=SUMPRODUCT((E1:E1000<EDATE(TODAY(),-6))*(ISNUMBER(FIND(A1,D1:D1000)))) -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Jennifer" wrote in message ...
