Multiple conditions in formula
I'm desparate! I just can't figure out a correct formula. I need a formula
that gives me: if a specific date spreadsheet A = a date on spreadsheet B and a specific dept # on spreadsheet A = the department# on spreadsheet B then get the # of hours for that department on spreadsheet B for that specific date I tried =SUMPRODUCT(('Labor Download'!O2:O500=Report!A6)*('Labor Download'!I2:I500=Report!P:P)*('Labor Download'!J2:J500)) [where Report!A6=date and Report!P=dept and labor downloadJ=# hours] but the result is #NUM! Clear as mud? Thx much! -Angela |

Multiple conditions in formula
From what I can tell just by looking at your formula this is the part
that is causing problems: ('LaborDownload'!I2:I500=Report!P:P) I don't think you can use the whole column as a condition. This should work: ('LaborDownload'!I2:I500=Report!p2) Best regards Per Erik Ang wrote: I'm desparate! I just can't figure out a correct formula.

Multiple conditions in formula
You need to be specific with the dept cell, not a whole column

=Report!P:P
That reference has to be the same size as the others: =SUMPRODUCT(('Labor Download'!O2:O500=Report!A6)*('Labor Download'!I2:I500=Report!P2:P500)*('Labor download'!J2:J500)) Note that with SUMPRODUCT you can't (directly) use entire columns as range references (unless you're using Excel 2007).

Multiple conditions in formula
Oh, yes, that is part of my problem! I changed the formula accordingly and
now I just get a result of 0 even though there should be a number greater than 0. Do you have any other suggestions? Thx!

Hi Per-
Yes, that is part of my problem! I changed the formula but now I get a result of 0 which shouldn't be the case. Any suggestions? I'm confused!

Yes, silly me! That is part of the problem. I just changed the formula but
get results of 0 for the entire column when it should be greater than 0. Any other suggestions? Thx! -Angela "T.

Multiple conditions in formula
Hi Bob -
Need your help again. I fixed my error on this formula and it worked just fine last week. However, now when I open the spreadsheet, nothing's being calculated and I have all zeros. I haven't changed any formulas, links, or ranges - it just doesn't work now. Any ideas? I'm stressed over this and need to figure it out! Do you have any better idea to get what I'm trying to acheive? Thx much for your help! -Ang "Bob Phillips" wrote: You need to be specific with the dept cell, not a whole column =SUMPRODUCT(('Labor Download'!O2:O500=Report!A6)*('Labor Download'!I2:I500=Report!P6)*('Labor Download'!J2:J500)) -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Ang" wrote in message ...

Perhaps the book's calc mode was inadvertently toggled to manual?

I'm a bit surprised the calc mode wasn't it since you said:
I haven't changed any formulas, links, or ranges - it just doesn't work now... I'm out of ideas. Something which worked yesterday doesn't just refuse to function the next day. It could be back to the data consistency issue again. Suggest you put in a new posting to seek insights from others. Paste the actual version of the expression that you're using which worked for you and which somehow doesn't work anymore, despite there being no changes made -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Ang" wrote in message ...
