Formula in cell messing up logical test

Hey,

I've got a spreadsheet where I'm trying to identify where 2 criteria are true and count them. one column is Y N or blank. the other is numerical value, but it's the result of a couple layers of indexing.... so there is a formula living in that column.

here's what I have:

AG13 has this living in it:

J13 has this:

in this case, AG 13 displays a Y, but J13 is blank. I look in the formula bar and see this:

is it reading the indigenous formula as being greater than 0? how would you get past this one?

That would be because a space is less than zero.
