SumProduct not right

[Steve]

This formula is summing ALL the incidences in the N column of what's in E2. I
want it to sum ONLY those that are in E2 but also also matching what's in A3.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$E$3:$E$5000=$A$3)--(Data!$R$3:$R$5000=E2),Data!$N$3:$N$5000)

I can't figure out why it's not working, because a similiar formula works
for other situations.

Thanks,

Steve

It seems you have forgotten a comma. Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$E$3:$E$5000=$A$3),--(Data!$R$3:$R$5000=E2),Data!$N$3:$N$5000)

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

=SUMPRODUCT((Data!$E$3:$E$5000=$A$3)*(Data!$R$3:$R$5000=E2)*(Data!$N$3:$N$5000))

Thank you. This works. The asterisks are also easier for me follow than than
the dashes. I think I'll use this instead.
Are those dashes always interchangable with the asterisks in those slightky
different positions ?

Thanks again,

Steve

Hi,

I always use the asterisks - it always works

This works too. Much thanks.
In fact, I can understand the *'s better than the dashes, so I'll probably
use this one. Question: The dashes and the asterisks , are they always
interchangable, with the slightly different positions ?

Thanks again,

Steve
