I have been using SUMPRODUCT for a while, and so far it's great. I'm trying
to use it on data range with blanks. My data is arranged as 52 weeks/rows for
each location, but there are a few blank rows in between locations (not
completely blank, but there's row for subtotal and other blanks). I'm using
sumproduct to pull data from this workbook into another workbook. Here's my
formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231=C5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231<""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231=D5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231<""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231=$E$3),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231<""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231<""))

I keep getting #Value error. But if change the range for the first location
from 10:1231 to 10:61 I will get the correct result. I will be pulling data
from many workbooks, and I'd really like to do the entire range and ignore
the blanks. Can someone tell me why my formula is not working, or is there
another way to incorporate the blanks into sumproduct? For other reasons, the
data cannot be rearranged... in other words those blank rows have to be there.

Thanks.

So, you are basically omitting the '< "" ' portion on the last part of the
formula... It didn't work. As I said the formula works as is if I break the
range into smaller ranges.
The only thing I can think of is (and someone can help me with this): The
data is organized in lists... for every 52 rows there's a header (text) and a
footer (number) subtotal then a few blank rows. Will the text header cause
the formula not to work?

Don't put the double dash in front of your array with numbers. The double
dash says treat it as 1's & 0's, which is not what you want to happen.

,--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),
needs to be just
,([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),


Also, if you think about the logic, there's no need for all the <"" checks.
If a cell equals C5, it can't be equal to "", unless C5 = "".

That's what I was trying to "point" you towards.

If you have a TEXT entry in the range AF10:AF1231:

for every 52 rows there's a header (text)

The above array is where you're getting the #VALUE! error.

Assume AF10 = TEXT header...

--(AF10) = #VALUE!

I presume you are getting the #VALUE error from the 2nd-to-last
argument, --([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231). Change that to simply
[MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231 -- not "--" and no parentheses.

Normally, text is not permitted in arithmetic expressions,
e.g. --AF10:AF1231. But SUMPRODUCT tolerates arguments that are text,
treating them as zero.

With the change above, you can also remove the last
argument, --([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231<""). I presume you added
that in an vane attempt to avoid the #VALUE error. It becomes superfluous
with the above change.

Finally, you seem to misunderstand why "--" is used sometimes. It is only
needed to convert boolean values (TRUE and FALSE) to numeric values, which
SUMPRODUCT requires. Thus, you need "--" in SUMPRODUCT arguments only
before comparison expressions and logic functions like AND and OR.

Don't put the double dash in front of your array
with numbers.The double dash says treat it as 1's & 0's,
--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231)

Well, not quite. The array gets coerced to 1 and 0 if there's a logical
comparrison taking place. Like --(AF10="x").

At first I thought the OP was getting a count so I thought they were missing
a logical test:

--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231=???)

Everyone else seems to think they're doing a sum. If the array
AF$10:$AF$1231 contains TEXT then --(array) = #VALUE!

Thanks Luke. It worked. Just removed the dashes in front of the last portion
of the formula, and it worked. Good to know this, because when I changed my

I have been using SUMPRODUCT for a while, and so far it's great. I'm trying
to use it on data range with blanks. My data is arranged as 52 weeks/rows for
each location, but there are a few blank rows in between locations (not
completely blank, but there's row for subtotal and other blanks). I'm using
sumproduct to pull data from this workbook into another workbook. Here's my
formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231=C5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231<""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231=D5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231<""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231=$E$3),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231<""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231<""))

I keep getting #Value error. But if change the range for the first location
from 10:1231 to 10:61 I will get the correct result. I will be pulling data
from many workbooks, and I'd really like to do the entire range and ignore
the blanks. Can someone tell me why my formula is not working, or is there
another way to incorporate the blanks into sumproduct? For other reasons, the
data cannot be rearranged... in other words those blank rows have to be there.

Thanks.
