hi all,
i have the following formula

=SUMPRODUCT((TABLE1!J2:J5='Summary Results PC'!B13)*(TABLE1!N2:N5))

in effect this is a simple sumif, the reason i'm using sumproduct is
that i am going to expand it to more than one criteria.

my problem lies in the range i am summing (TABLE1!N2:N5), contains text
and error values (first example in cell j5, if i shrink the range to
only look down to cell j4, it works)

i have tried using

'=SUMPRODUCT((TABLE1!J2:J5=='Summary Results
PC'!B$13)*ISNUMBER((TABLE1!N2:N5)))

but this gives me the count of number cells in the range, not the
summed range needed.

have googled this for wuite some time and have come up with no solution
- over to the group.

Thanks in advance.

If TABLE1!N2:N5 does not house any error values...

Invoke SumProduct with the comma syntax:

=SUMPRODUCT((TABLE1!J2:J5='Summary Results PC'!B13)+0,TABLE1!N2:N5)

Otherwise, you have to switch to:

=SUM(IF(TABLE1!J2:J5='Summary Results
PC'!B13,IF(ISNUMBER(TABLE1!N2:N5),TABLE1!N2:N5)))

which must be confirmed with control+shift+enter.

[1] The SumProduct function should implicitly coerce the truth values to
their Excel numeric equivalents.
[2] The lookup functions should have an optional argument for the return
value, defaulting to #N/A in its absence.

Perhaps try also:

=SUMPRODUCT((Table1!J2:J5='Summary Results
PC'!B$13)*(ISNUMBER((Table1!N2:N5))),Table1!N2:N5)

That's okay for text Max, but won't work with an error result.

Yes, you're right. Thanks. Should have tested more thoroughly
Looks like we've to go the array route (similar to Aladin's 2nd formula):
=SUM(IF((Table1!J2:J5='Summary Results
PC'!B$13)*(ISNUMBER((Table1!N2:N5))),Table1!N2:N5) )

many thanks for all your help, in the end i used:
=SUMPRODUCT((TABLE1!$J$2:$J$2000=$B$45)*(TABLE1!$V $2:$V$2000="n")*(ISNUMBER((TABLE1!$N$2:$N$2000))), TABLE1!$N$2:$N$2000)

(note i have increased the range sizes and criteria)

as it turned out, what i thought were na errors, was actually text
inputted by the user.

Thanks again

Glad to hear that !
Thanks for feeding back to us ..
