How do I use SUMPRODUCT if one of the criteria arrays is the same as the
totals array.

I want to total all cells in column L that have a 1 in column D, as well as
a negative amount in column L

=SUMPRODUCT((D11:D60000="1")*(L11:L60000="<0")*(L11:L60000))

What am I doing wrong? I've never used SUMPRODUCT before, and I think I
hate it!

No, you actually love it but you just don't know that yet! <g>

Try it like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(D11:D60000=1),--(L11:L60000<0),L11:L60000)

Everything you always wanted to know about SUMPRODUCT (and then some!):

Don't be concerned. You will learn to love SUMPRODUCT.

=SUMPRODUCT((D11:D60000=1)*(L11:L60000<0),(L11:L60000))

I don't love it yet, but I'm starting to warm up to it. Your solution worked
great. I was using the website, but I didn't see any less than/greater than
examples.

Gary,

Sumproduct, is fantastic, but when I use it on huge spreadsheets, it loose
more time on calculation if compared with other functions or pivot tables,
did you have the same?

Hi,

Actually SUMPRODUCT is 10%-25% faster than an equivalent array formula,
however, pivot tables are faster still.

Try the array equivalent: (press Shift+Ctrl+Enter to enter the formula)

=SUM((D1:D60000=1)*(L1:L60000<=0),L1:L60000)

For one thing the pivot table calculations don't need to convert from
Excelese to a low level language. Also, Microsoft has put a lot of time into
optimizing the pivot table and that may be harder for a function like
SUMPRODUCT.

Hi

Maybe you need to specify the range of source data, for example
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!E2:E11=H1),--(Sheet1!A1:A10=G2),Sheet1!F2:F11)

I am having some issues with sumproduct.

I have the formula working.
It looks for the region that starts with C* and adds the details - if there are no comments (M is comments and B2 is null). I could not get the null to work any other way. This works though.

=SUMPRODUCT((Detail!$A2:$A11="C*")+(Detail!$M2:$M11<>$B$2),(Detail!$L2:$L11))

The issue is when I expand the rows:

When I use the below formula, I get the total of all regions that have no comment. It is ignoring the first criteria.

What am I doing wrong?

=SUMPRODUCT((Detail!$A2:$A15000="C*")+(Detail!$M2:$M15000<>$B$2),(Detail!$L2:$L15000))

Either A has C* or M <> B2, right?

Maybe...

=SUMPRODUCT(((Detail!$A2:$A15000="C*")+(Detail!$M2:$M15000<>$B$2)>0),
(Detail!$L2:$L15000))

ps. C* really means the characters C, then asterisk. If you wanted the info
that started with a C (using * as a wildcard):

=SUMPRODUCT((left((Detail!$A2:$A15000,1)="C")+(Detail!$M2:$M15000<>$B$2)>0),
(Detail!$L2:$L15000))

ps. I think your original formula is incorrect--you just got lucky with your
data.

ps:

=SUMPRODUCT(((Detail!$A2:$A15000="C*")+(Detail!$M2:$M15000<>"")>0),
(Detail!$L2:$L15000))

should work too (A=C* or M<>"")

One more thought (after I reread your message)...

It sounds like you want both to be true--an And, not an Or.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Detail!$A2:$A15000="C*"),
--(Detail!$M2:$M15000<>""),
(Detail!$L2:$L15000))

or if that asterisk is a wildcard.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(left(Detail!$A2:$A15000,1)="C"),
--(Detail!$M2:$M15000<>""),
(Detail!$L2:$L15000))
