Formula should return a result but doesn't

[Smock]

When I bring up the formula box for the following formula (attempting to sum
up numbers in a different sheet given various conditions) --

=SUM(IF(Sheet1!F2:F1900='1340 - 001'!B8,IF(Sheet1!D2:D1900='1340 -
001'!C8,IF(Sheet1!C2:C1900='1340 - 001'!F8,IF(Sheet1!G2:G1900='1340 -
001'!G6,Sheet1!J2:J1900,0),0),0),0))

it shows 'Formula Result'=69, which is correct, that's what it should be.
But in the cell itself, it will only show 0. I have this problem with most
complex formulas. In a related note, complicated formulas in old
spreadsheets work but if I go in there and say, erase a number and then put
it back, it has the same problem as above. Help!!

I think the function that you want is SUMIF(), read up on it.

With all the conditions that I have set up in this formula, setting it up
this way gives me needed flexibility. This formula would work in an older
version of Excel but not in Excel '03. What is it about Excel '03 that is
giving me these problems?

Is this what you want:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!F2:F1900='1340 - 001'!B8),--(Sheet1!D2:D1900='1340 - 001'!C8),--(Sheet1!C2:C1900='1340 - 001'!F8),--(Sheet1!G2:G1900='1340 - 001'!G6),Sheet1!J2:J1900)

Morrigan, thanks for your help, that's exactly what I wanted. Appreciate it.
