SUMPRODUCT(--(DATA!$C$2:$C$1500=98366), DATA!$AB$2:$AB$1500)

This is what I have been trying to use. What I am doing is looking for a
specific zip code in one column when I find it I want the value of another
column to be added to a total.

As it is, think your formula should work. If it's somehow not returning the
correct sums (or zeros), then the problem could be either that the (some)
zip codes in col C are text numbers, and / or that (some) numbers within the
col to be summed, col AB, are text numbers

One way is to try instead:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(Data!$C$2:$C$1500,"00000")="98366"), --Data!$AB$2:$AB$15
00)

All I get with the current code is a dash (Cell looks like this-----[ -
] )

When I used the text idea cell looks like [ #value ] but I expect a
certain value that I have calculated.

What you describe is what SUMIF does. The general format of that function is
=sumif(where_to_look,what_to_look_for,what_to_add) . In your example,
=sumif(DATA!$C$2:$C$1500,98366,DATA!$AB$2:$AB$1500 ). If, by chance, your zip
codes have been entered as text, you'll have to look for them as text, so
you'd change 98366 to "98366"

This alternative expression could probably be refined further,
but think we could try:

=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(Data!$C$2:$C$1500,"00000")="9836 6")+(TEXT(Data!$C$2:$C$150
0,"00000")="98367"), --Data!$AB$2:$AB$1500)/--$B$417

Think the above is probably just a zero,
display is due to cell formatted as "Accounting"

If you re-format the cell as "General" or "Number",
then the zero would show

When I used the text idea cell looks like [ #value ]
but I expect a certain value that I have calculated.

It's a good refinement, Biff. But going by the same tack that there could
be a mixture of real/text numbers within col C, think a slight adjustment
would be:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(TEXT(Data!$C$2:$C$1500,"00000"),{" 98366","9836
7"},0))),--Data!$AB$2:$AB$1500)/--$B$417
