I'm using the above SUMPRODUCT formula on a large dataset. In testing we found we occasionally get an #N/A in a few cells (never in the result column). This then causes the sum product formula to fail and return #N/A. We don't care about those #n/a values in the target range so I would like the sumproduct formula just to ignore them. Is there a way to do that in the formula by using something like ISNUMBER etc?

The other alternative I found online was to use VBA to remove all the n/a's after import from the database but this is not an option in this case.

NOTE- This post relates to https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...heck-if-flagged-result-then-return-value.html but is a separate issue so I thought I would raise it in a separate post. However if you are looking for a SUMPRODUCT formula similar to this I would recommend checking out the other post.

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Why dont you just fix the formulas so the N/As don't appear?

IFERROR(formula, "")

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code):
=SUM(IF(Sheet2!$B$1:$D$1=B$1,IF(Sheet2!$B$2:$D$2="Result",
     IF(ISNUMBER(Sheet2!$B$3:$D$4<strike></strike>),Sheet2!$B$3:$D$4<strike></strike>))))
