Can someone please help - this is driving me nuts. I am wanting to use
SumProduct in a Macro but it does not compile.

The reason is that I am writing a macro to delete duplicate rows based on
all columns of data, in some cases up to 50 rows.

A simple example to highlight what I am trying to do - Lets say columns A to
G have data in them in and the data is in rows 2 - 10, headings are in row 1.
Firstly I concatenate all the data across Columns A to G and place the
result in Column H. I do this for all 10 rows (including the heading).

The next thing I do is test column H in row 10 to see how many occurrences
there are in the range H2:H10. If there is more than one I delete the entire
row. I then work my way up to row 2.

If I put the formula "=SUMPRODUCT(--(H2:H10=H10))" into cell I10 in the
spreadsheet itself I get a result no problem, let's say 2.

Whenever I try to use SumProduct in a Macro it won't give a result. To test
it I typed the following in to get a result:

Range("I10") = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumProduct(--(H2:H10 = H10))

When I put this into a Macro the line goes red and the : between the H2:H10
is highlighted and it displays:
Compile Error:
Expected: )

I have tried creating a string variable that contains the "H2:H10 = H10" but
when I put it in it doesn't work. I have tried many other ways but nothing
seems to give me a result that I can work with.

Why do you need to use SUMPRODUCT(). Try
Range("I1:I10").Formula = "=COUNTIF($H$1:$H$10,H1)"

OR try the below macro instead which use the Advanced Filter option

Sub Macro2()
Dim lngRow As Long, lngLastRow As Long
lngLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Range("A1:G" & lngLastRow).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace,
Unique:=True
For lngRow = 1 To lngLastRow
If Rows(lngRow).Hidden Then Rows(lngRow).Delete
Next
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End Sub

There are ways to make the WorksheetFunction.SumProduct work.

But try:

Range("I10") = Evaluate("SumProduct(--(H2:H10 = H10))")

or for that functionality, more simply:

Range("I10") = Evaluate("countif(H2:H10,H10)")

Hi Jacob. I need to use SUMPRODUCT as COUNTIF only works on cell values up
to 255 characters, whereas this is not a problem with SUMPRODUCT. Some of
the concatenated cells might be as much as 1000 characters.

I eventually solved it using the following code:

mFormula = "SUMPRODUCT(--(" & ConcCol & 2 & ":" & ConcCol & R &
"=" & ConcCol & R & "))"
Q = Application.Evaluate(mFormula)

Where mFormula is defined as String and Q as Long. ConcCol and R are
variables in a For Next loop that I use as I work up from the bottom to the
top of the data.

Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Joe.

I eventually solved it using the following code:

mFormula = "SUMPRODUCT(--(" & ConcCol & 2 & ":" & ConcCol & R &
"=" & ConcCol & R & "))"
Q = Application.Evaluate(mFormula)

Where mFormula is defined as String and Q as Long. ConcCol and R are
variables in a For Next loop that I use as I work up from the bottom to the
top of the data.

I had to muck around a bit to get the syntax exactly right in mFormula, but
it works perfectly.

Thanks for trying to help.

If you are going to use COUNTIF there is no need for evaluate, that is only
necessary for array formulae.
