Sumproduct help

Thanks to Roger and Bob.

I didn't realize those errors on the Weekly Meter Totals sheet would affect
the other sheet as I was only dealing with sample data for the first couple
of weeks in 2007. I would have never thought to check where you did. When
the 2006 sheets were made, I made the sheets (in systematic order) and
everything worked.
Thanks to both you I have learned that the computer thinks differently
from me. :-)

Thanks again
Walter Mayes

The problem is on Weekly Meter Totals. there are many #REF errors there
that need to be resolved. The formulae that aren't #REF there seem to be
pointing at the wrong cells (H5, I5, etc), should be $A5 etc.

Tried that but no luck. I'll send you the books. I have also sent the
books to Bob.

Thanks

Hi Walter

You are misunderstanding what I said. I agree that your number of
parentheses are correct in total.
Yes you do have 2 at the end.
But it should be
=SUMPRODUCT( )
with
('wkly meter totals'!$a$4:$a$41=a6)*
('wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$4=j6)*
('wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$41)

between the sumproduct parentheses

What you have is
=SUMPRODUCT(( )
with
('wkly meter totals'!$a$4:$a$41=a6)*
('wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$4=j6)*
'wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$41)

If that amendment doesn't sort it out for you, feel free to email me the
workbook.

Hi Walter

It looks to me as though you have a parenthesis in the wrong place
Your formula starts with 3 opening parentheses, and only has a one
parenthesis for the final term
'wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$41)

Try amending to

=sumproduct(
('wkly meter totals'!$a$4:$a$41=a6)*
('wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$4=j6)*
('wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$41))

Am converting my workbooks over from 2006 to 2007. Hope I can
explain this clearly.

Saved my 2006 workbook as 2007 so it should be a simple matter to
delete certain 2006 data and change the dates. The below Sumproduct
formula works in the 2006 sheet but I am getting a #REF error in the
2007 sheet.

In the (Ticket Mach.) sheet I have the following formula:

=sumproduct((('wkly meter totals'!$a$4:$a$41=a6)*('wkly meter
totals'!$c$4:$bb$4=j6)*'wkly meter totals'!$c$4:$bb$41)) This works
in the 2006 sheet and my answer is $57.00 This formula is dragged down
and works for the whole year for each game.

This same formula in the 2007 sheet gives me a #REF error. When I
click on the error arrow it says "Invalid Cell Ref. error." When I
click "Edit in formula bar", a6 is highlighted.

Formula in Ticket Mach. sheet ( both years) is in cell k6
Types of data in both years is the same.
Wkly Meter Totals:
a4:a41 is text (names of games)

Ticket Mach.
a6 is names of games

Wkly Meter Totals
c4:bb4 are dates (every Monday)

Ticket Mach.
j6 is a date

Wkly Meter Totals
c4:bb41 are numbers

What it should do: Look down Column A in "Wkly Meter Totals" and
find the same name that is in "Ticket Mach." a6, then look across row
c4:bb4 in "Wkly Meter Totals" to find the same date that is in "Ticket
Mach." j6, then return the number that is found in "Wkly Meter Totals"
c4:bb41

The names and numbers that are in the "Wkly Meter Totals" sheet are
being picked up from a previous sheet and there are no problems with
that I have copied and pasted the names to assure of correct
spelling..

I have checked the formatting, (general) and (dates) and cannot
locate what the problem may be. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Would be willing to send both books, should anyone request them.

Thanks
Walter Mayes
