Hi. The main sheet contains information of the date and the fruits bought in each date. The second sheet (calculations sheet) contains the data I am calculating for.

Issues I faced:

1) I tried for many days to calculate the total number of fruits of each fruit type with date range as the criteria, however my formula is always wrong. I tried this: SUMPRODUCT(--('Main Sheet'!C2:C1000="Orange"),--('Main Sheet'!B2:B1000>="1/1/2019",<="12/31/2019"}) but it is an error.

2) For fruits other than the ones stated, I tried the formula: SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(FIND({"<>Banana","<>Apple","<>Oranges"},'Main Sheet'!C2:C1000))), however I still get an error.

Hopefully there will be a solution. Appreciate anyone for reading and helping.

Hello, thanks for helping. I actually used your solution and it worked. I prefer the long way.

⁉️ I would be wary of using the formula that you have accepted.
Take this slightly modified example.

213/09/2019Apple, Orange, Pear, Grapes
3210/09/2019Orange, Pear, Pineapple

9815/10/2021Pear
10915/10/2021Pear, Grapes
111015/10/2021Grapes, Apple
Main Sheet


As I understand your requirement, the correct result for "apple" for 2019 would be 2, but the suggested formula returns 3 as shown here. The reason being that it has counted the "apple" within "pineapple" in cell C3.

Could you use something like this instead?
I have assumed that the fruits in column C of 'Main Sheet' are separated by comma and space as I think that is what your original image shows.
In future, it would makes things easier if you gave your sample data and expected results with XL2BB

Hello. Thank you for pointing out the error. I tried your solution and it worked. Just wondering, for RasGhul's solution, instead of using "ISNUMBER(SEARCH", would "ISNUMBER(FIND" / "ISNUMBER(MATCH" be more accurate? Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the pickup @Peter_SSs

If you replace the Search function with Find as suggested...

I would say a definite "No".

Using FIND with "Apple" would certainly cut out counting "Pineapple" but
- would miss out counting "apple" if it happened to be entered without the capital 'A'
- would still incorrectly count "Custard-Apple", "Rose-Apple" or "Sugar-Apple". It would also incorrectly count "Mangosteen" if using FIND with "Mango" etc.

What it is about my suggestion that ensures looking for correct words, & correct words only, is ensuring the word being looked for is enclosed between commas.

Also, the SUMPRODUCT suggestions above have a redundant year check
(YEAR('Main Sheet'!$B$2:$B$11)>=Calculations!A4)*(YEAR('Main Sheet'!$B$2:$B$11)<=Calculations!A4)
Since you are looking for a particular year with each formula, both the blue section and the red section do exactly the same job. For example, the only way a particular year can be >=2019 and <=2019 is if it is equal to 2019 so there is no need to check for it twice.

Another point about the previous SUMPRODUCT suggestions is that using the sheet name of the sheet that the formulas are actually on is a bad idea as it can lead to incorrect results.
=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR('Main Sheet'!$B$2:$B$11)>=Calculations!A4)*(YEAR('Main Sheet'!$B$2:$B$11)<=Calculations!A4)*ISNUMBER(FIND($C$3,'Main Sheet'!$C$2:$C$11)))
If you want to see what I mean, carefully follow through the steps of the example detailed in this post.

So, if you particularly want to use SUMPRODUCT (not a particularly efficient function) or need the solution to work in earlier versions of Excel then perhaps you could use this.
