    SumProduct #Value error

    Hello,

    I'm pulling my hair out on what seems like should be an easy formula.

    I'm using Sumproduct to convert weekly to Monthly data. I have units and dollars.

    The Units tab seems to be working fine, but when I plug in inputs from the dollars, I get all #value errors.

    I copied the tabs, so all the formulas should be exactly the same, only the inputs are different.

    I also tried rounding the the numbers so they were all whole numbers, but that didn't work either.

    I think I've attached a file, but I don't see confirmation anywhere.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Michael

    Re: SumProduct #Value error

    I have played with your file and I don't have the answer, but I did find something strange.

    If I copy all the data from "sample input" into "Dollars weekly" everything works. When I say copy all the data, I mean just the cells that have numbers.

    But if I copy any empty cells, even one, the error occurs. For example, I copied G9 to G9. G9 is empty--it has no data at all. But when I do that, I get #VALUE errors. If I go to G9 and hit DELETE the error goes away, but I am deleting an empty cell. That doesn't make sense.

    I suspect there is a problem with your SUMPRODUCT formula because it uses three different shapes, and all ranges should have the same shape. But given that, I don't know why it works in any conditions. I'll continue to look.

    Re: SumProduct #Value error

    Also if I delete 'sample input'!G9 before I copy it, it does not cause a problem. This suggests that there is some kind of data in sheet 'sample input' blank cells that is undetectable. Which also doesn't make sense. The LEN of the cell is 0 so it does not contain undisplayable characters.

    How did you populate the data on 'sample input'?

    None of the "blank" cells in the Sample tab are blanlk, try it like
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: SumProduct #Value error

    I initially populated it from a cohort sheet containing the dollars. Then I simply converted some of the numbers.

    That is weird on the blank cells.

    Re: SumProduct #Value error

    Did you originally have formulae that returned "", which were then copy/pasted as values?
    If so that is what is causing the null strings to be in the cells.

    That seems to work! Thanks much Fluff13. I don't fully understand Sumproduct.
