    Referencing Cell gives incorrect answer but "228" gives correct answer in formula?

    Hey,
    I have a table where Column B is an ID number with no formula in it and I want to reference that ID for another formula. However, If I reference Cell B3, I get an incorrect number. However, If I reference "228" then I get the correct answer.

    Cell B3 is 228. General Format
    This formula returns the wrong answer. This returns 1 but it should be returning 18
    =SUMPRODUCT(--((Raw[DateNew2]*1)>=TODAY()-(DAY(TODAY()-1)*(Raw[StoresNew2]=B3))))

    This formula gives the correct answer
    =SUMPRODUCT(--((Raw[DateNew2]*1)>=TODAY()-(DAY(TODAY()-1)*(Raw[StoresNew2]="228"))))

    Anyone have any suggestions? I have played with all formats to be number/text/general but that didn't work.

    That's impossible to visualise (for me at least...).

    Please read the yellow banner (top) and upload a sample Excel file.

    Hi Clove1:
    Try formatting col. B in a helper col. as

    . Paste back to B as values. or

    (Changing the number format at the top may say text, but the value may still be stored as a number.)
