Receiving #VALUE! when using examples from Microsoft Excel, why?
Using an example from "Count how often multiple text or number values occur
by using functions" returns #VALUE! Why? Currently using Excel 2002 with Add-Ins Conditional Sum Wizard, Solver Add-in, and Lookup Wizard. fx: =SUM(IF(A2:A7="Buchanan",IF(B2:B7<9000,1,0))) I have tried using other examples using COUNT and get same results. I have two columns, one is a number the other text, that need to match two logicals to return a sum or count of those that match. Please help - Thanks, RickG |

1) This is an array function. When you type it in (or open it for editing
with double click or F2) you need to complete the process with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER 2) That is a very poor example when SUMPRODUCT is so much simpler to use. SUMPRODUCT does not need CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A7="Buchanan),--(B2:B7<9000)) For more details see: http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html http://mcgimpsey.com/excel/formulae/doubleneg.html best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "RickG" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much Bernard!
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER works and SUMPRODUCT works great! "Bernard Liengme" wrote: 1) This is an array function.
