Sumproduct with mixed data?
 

Hi, I have a column that is predominately filled with dates i.e. 1/12/2010;
16/4/2010 etc, and my formula below counted the number of rows based upon the
month and year of these dates, this worked well until now. Some fields within
the column now have text instead of a date and this has now messed up my
formula which returns a #value error. Any assistance you can give would be
greately appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

=SUMPRODUCT(N(MONTH('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting
Output'!$A$3:$A$10001)=3),N(YEAR('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting
Output'!$A$3:$A$10001)=2010))

Try:

=SUMPRODUCT(
(MONTH(N('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting Output'!$A$3:$A$10001))=3)
*
(YEAR(N('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting Output'!$A$3:$A$10001))=2010))

Alternatively:

=SUMPRODUCT(
--(MONTH(N('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting Output'!$A$3:$A$10001))=3),
--(YEAR(N('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting Output'!$A$3:$A$10001))=2010))

(Beware of line-wrap when you copy-and-paste into Excel.)

Note: MONTH(0) is 1 and YEAR(0) is 1900. That could give false positives
if you tested for that month and year. I doubt that will be a problem.

One way...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting
Output'!$A$3:$A$10001,"mmmyyyy")="Mar2010"))

Thanks for your response but the formula isn't working for me. In the Text
formula it returns a value of 0 which is incorrect as there are definitely
Mar2010 dates.

In the other solution I get a #value error.

Thanks guys

In the Text formula it returns a value of 0

Hmmm...

Try this one:

=SUMPRODUCT(--('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting
Output'!$A$3:$A$10001=DATE(2010,3,1)),--('C:\Users\[monitor.xls]Adjusting
Output'!$A$3:$A$10001<=DATE(2010,3,31)))

Oh dear, I must apologise T. Valko. Your first formula does work. I
stupidly didn't include the -- into the formula. I thought that they
signified spaces and didn't appreciate that they were actually part of the
formula. Anyway, many thanks for your time and solving my problem for me.
