i HAVE A WORKSHEET WITH 8 COLUMNS
COULMN A DATE
COLUMN B ITEM
COULMN C PAID
COLUMN E PAYMENT
COLUMN E TOTAL PAID
COLUMN F TAX
COLUMN G NET AMOUNT
THESE COLUMNS ARE NOT SORTED EITHER IN DATE OR ITEM ORDER.

I THEN HAVE IN COLUMN H ROW 2 A LIST OF THE SUPPLIES I USE AND THEN IN
COLUMN I TO T THE MONTHS AND I HAVE FORMATTED THESE MONTHS AS
010707,010807,010907 ETC THEN CUSTOM YYMM AND IT SHOPWS JUL-06 AUG-06 ETC
I AM THEN TRYING TO USE
=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT$B$2:$B$1000,"PVC & PIPE")=TEXT($I$2,"yymm")),$G$1000)
BUT I GET
#VALUE! ERROR
and I would then like to copy formula down and change "PVC & PIPE" to the
other supplies "shower","tap" etc etc I use.

CAN YOU ASSIST AS I CANNOT FIND WHAT I AM DOING WRONG AND HAVE SPENT A FEW
HOURS TRYING DIFFERENT VARIATIONS AND STILL GET THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE.

Thank you
