#VALUE! Error of SUMPRODUCT if cell value is ""

[nuficek]

Hi,

I have a table calculating times based on several criteria. I have a problem with calculation if one of the cells in the criteria range (B2:B1000) is "" then I get #VALUE! Error. The following is sample table (real table has more than 1000 rows) and in this case B7 is empty cell value:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

etc.

I tried a couple of solution but I can't get it working without error. I tried to use

<>"" or LEN function but still receiving the error. I would appreciate any help or suggestion. ​

how about
=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(D2:D10)=B1),(B2:B10))

Thanks a lot for your reply, it will definetlly work. But I need to work with data as the table is much more complex. So I was trying to find out the solution wich would help me a lot. If there won't be a soultion I will use some hidden cells using your solution.

It's impossible to tell if there is another solution, without seeing an accurate representation of your data.
From what you posted, col A is redundant as it's only showing what already exists in col D.

 

[nuficek]

I could use your solution but the first part of the table (500 entries) was using direct entry. And then there was temporary table used for import data using column D. That's also one reason why it's complicated to use your solution. Only chance would be to copy all old entries to this temporary one used for import and then it will work. And it seems to be now the easiest solution. Fluff, I can PM you the table if you want.

As this is a public board, you will need to post the table to the thread, or upload to a share site & post the link here.
That way other members can offer assistance, should they so wish.

Unfortunately I can't provide the entire table as it's data sensitive and it's too complex to simplify it and keep full functionality. But you are right that the data in

column A is redundant. I know that the problem is that SUMPRODUCT can't work with text but I can't sort it out.​
