SUMPRODUCT vs. COUNTIF -- Why does one work?

I'm stumped on this and reading through the archived messages has not
shed any light yet.

Using =COUNTIF(V2:V11,"*Very Clear*") to determine the number of times
"Very Clear" is listed works great.

Using
=SUMPRODUCT(--(E2:E11=DATEVALUE("10/19/2004")),--(V2:V11="*Very*Clear*"))
to determine the number times "Very Clear" is listed on a particular
date returns the inaccurate value of "0".

What am I missing? Thanks! Trish (Excel 2000, WinXP)
