Sumproduct not working when summing values between two numbers

Hi FlamencoKid,

This probably suggests that some of the ranges used contain text values that
can not be forced into a number. I would rather try Data>Text to Columns...
etc.

Regards,
KL

Hi

Yeah, I'd imported the codes (and some other data I was using) and it looks
like they were treated as text. As soon as I resolved that it sorted the
problem. Thanks very much for your help and sorry for the typo at the start
of all this that complicated matters!
