Hey everyone! I need some help tweaking my formula to get rid of the #VALUE error it's generating.

Formula Goal: if range 1 (date format) is a Saturday, then sum the relevant cell in range 2 (number format) >> count how many of something is being done on Saturdays specifically out of all the days logged.

Formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY($B$4:$B$63)=7)*--$W$4:$W$63)

When I step into the formula I can see the problem are the blank cells in the range - I've used this formula before and haven't had an issue with this, but now I can't seem to find a workaround.

Any suggestions? (PS. I confirmed my observation by reducing the ranges to just the cells with data and it work fined)
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Are you sure that these cells are blank? Or mey be there are some non-printing characters? Or formulas, which return empty strings, like if(condition,value,"") etc.?

May be you could give a try to:

Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(IF(ISNUMBER($B$4:$B$63)*ISNUMBER($W$4:$W$63),(WEEKDAY($B$4:$B$63)=7)*$W$4:$W$63,0))

Thank you this solved the problem, and to answer your question I made sure to clear cell contents and delete any phantom entries :) this did the trick! I appreciate you!

Try
Excel Formula:
=SUM(IFERROR((WEEKDAY($B$4:$B$63,1)=7)*$W$4:$W$63,0))
Thank you this did work with one hiccup if I had additional entries in range W it would sum all of it vs just what met my condition in range B :) I appreciate the help!
