Sumproduct with blanks

Thanks Luke. It worked. Just removed the dashes in front of the last portion
of the formula, and it worked. Good to know this, because when I changed my
range to the first list only 10:61 it did work with the dashes added.

Thanks.

Don't put the double dash in front of your array with numbers. The double
dash says treat it as 1's & 0's, which is not what you want to happen.

,--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),
needs to be just
,([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),


Also, if you think about the logic, there's no need for all the "" checks.
If a cell equals C5, it can't be equal to "", unless C5 = "".

So, you are basically omitting the ' "" ' portion on the last part of the
formula... It didn't work. As I said the formula works as is if I break the
range into smaller ranges.
The only thing I can think of is (and someone can help me with this): The
data is organized in lists... for every 52 rows there's a header (text) and a
footer (number) subtotal then a few blank rows. Will the text header cause
the formula not to work?

Hi,
I assume you want to pull the information from AF10:AF1231

try

=SUMPRODUCT(--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231=C5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231=D5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231=$E$3),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231""),([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231)

I have been using SUMPRODUCT for a while, and so far it's great. I'm trying
to use it on data range with blanks. My data is arranged as 52 weeks/rows for
each location, but there are a few blank rows in between locations (not
completely blank, but there's row for subtotal and other blanks). I'm using
sumproduct to pull data from this workbook into another workbook. Here's my
formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231=C5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$B$10:$B$1231""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231=D5),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$C$10:$C$1231""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231=$E$3),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$M$10:$M$1231""),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231),--([MyModel.xls]ByPlant!$AF$10:$AF$1231""))

I keep getting #Value error. But if change the range for the first location
from 10:1231 to 10:61 I will get the correct result. I will be pulling data
from many workbooks, and I'd really like to do the entire range and ignore
the blanks. Can someone tell me why my formula is not working, or is there
another way to incorporate the blanks into sumproduct? For other reasons, the
data cannot be rearranged... in other words those blank rows have to be there.

Thanks.
