SUMPRODUCT different range sizes

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? However, please give us an indication of the approximate number of rows of data you want the solution to work with (100, 1000, 100,000 or whatever). Please DO NOT attach a picture of an Excel sheet (I do not have the patience to re-type any/all your stuff before starting).

1. It does NOT have to be your real sheet - mock up a SAMPLE if you need to. But not 1000's of rows!!! It makes manual checking so tedious. Whatever you do... make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

2. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. For example, don't show text in a column if it's really a number. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

3. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually). To be honest, I am not interested in seeing a non-working formula... or a pile of blank cells. However, I am very interested in seeing your EXPECTED results in their EXPECTED location.

4. Try not to use merged cells. They cause lots of problems and are DEFINITELY best avoided!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Is this it??

=SUMPRODUCT((J2:L9<>"")*(D2:D9=C14)*(B2:B9=C13))

PS Never use whole column references with SUMPRODUCT. It'll take an age processing 1,000,000 rows.... three times!!

=SUMPRODUCT((master!$A$2:$A$200=analyze!$B$2)*(master!$B$2:$B$200=analyze!A3)*(master!$D$2:$F$200<>""))

but, as previously stated... no whole column references, unless you DO have 1,000,000 rows of data

No... it means check all 3 columns for values that are not equal to null/blank.


You're welcome.
