Hi All
Can anybody help me adjust the following SUMPRODUCT formula to ignore any blanks in column B?
I am using the formula above to calculate a weighted average, and am open to using other functions if anybody has any more efficient suggestions?=SUMPRODUCT($B$5:$B$4000,$S$5:$S$4000)/SUM($S$5:$S$4000)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Dgp try this =SUMPRODUCT(IF(($B$5:$B$4000)<>0,($B$5:$B$4000)*($S$5:$S$4000)/SUM($S$5:$S$4000)))

Hi Hemesh
Thanks for your swift response.
Unfortunately this has returned the #VALUE error. I also tried to exclude empty cells this way (<>"") but no luck...
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

Hi,
Perhaps:
=SUMPRODUCT($B$3:$B$16,--($B$3:$B$16<>0),$S$3:$S$16)/SUMPRODUCT($S$3:$S$16,--($B$3:$B$16<>0))
Regards
Fantastic! Thanks very much for your help
I made a very slight adjustment to suit the blank cells; instead of using <>0, I used <>"".
Thanks again

You're welcome.
Many years later:
I need some help!
=SUMPRODUCT($C$12:$K$12, 1/$C$13:$K$13, C19:K19)
Sum product(Weightage, Max marks, Student score)
I need it to ignore the empty cells otherwise it gives a zero answer.
Can you help? I can't seem to figure out how to adapt your previously posted solution to mine.
Thanks in advance!

raheeljessa, I had the same question! Including --([array]<>0) doesn't work if you need to manipulate an array within the sumproduct calculation like you and I need to. I searched for your name in this forum but you never reposted your question.
The solution below works for me. My data is listed in columns, with blanks sorted to the bottom. My total number of blanks varies with other inputs.
Say SUMPRODUCT(1/A1:A999) ignoring blanks is what you want. First sort the blanks to the bottom either with filters or another formula. Then use:
SUMPRODUCT(1/(A1:INDEX(A1:A999,COUNT(A1:A999))))
Unfortunately if you want to use other arrays in the sumproduct, they'll need to be the same size. For example, to include B1:B999, the sumproduct will look like this:
SUMPRODUCT(1/(A1:INDEX(A1:A999,COUNT(A1:A999))),B1:INDEX(B1:B999,COUNT(A1:A999)))
Using your example and switching to lists in rows:
SUMPRODUCT($C$12:INDEX($C$12:$K$12,1,COUNTIF($C$13:$K$13,"<>0")),1/($C$13:INDEX($C$13:$K$13,1,COUNTIF($C$13:$K$13,"<>0"))),C19:INDEX($C$19:$K$19,1,COUNTIF($C$13:$K$13,"<>0")))
It's ugly but it works for me. If you can't filter the 0s to the right, I would recommend transposing to columns so you can easily work with filters. If you think of a more elegant solution please share.
