I have a listing of projects with the following columns...

column C - contains an "X" when project is completed.

column D - contains value of contract.

column N - contains a "Y" if project loss money.

I want to add the value of all contracts that are complete (X) AND did
not lose money (Y).

I know how to use the SUMIF for the first part of the equation but to
omit the ones losing money I am not sure how or if I can use it in a
SUMIF statement.
 
=sumproduct(--(c1:c99="x"),--(n1:n99<>"y"),d1:d99)

Adjust the ranges to match--but you can't use whole columns (except in xl2007).

=sumproduct() likes to work with numbers. The -- stuff changes trues and falses
to 1's and 0's.

Bob Phillips explains =sumproduct() in much more detail here:

And J.E. McGimpsey has some notes at:
