Re: SUMPRODUCT help needed
Hi!
You've got a slight problem!
I'm looking at your file.....
On sheet1 in the Server column, you're using a custom format of p###000.
C3 has a displayed value of p066 but the true underlying value of that cell
is 66.
On sheet2 in column A you have the server numbers. A3 has a value of p066.
This cell is formatted as GENERAL.
So, the problem is that p066 on sheet1 does not match p066 on sheet2.
You could come up with a formula to search for a specific number of chars
but the problem with that is some server numbers have 2 digits and some have
3 digits. For example:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$B$3:$B$240=B1),--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(RIGHT(A3,2),Sheet1!$C$3:$C$240))))
You need to use the same format style in each sheet for the server numbers.
Then the formula would be in sheet2 B3:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$B$3:$B$240=B1),--(Sheet1!$C$3:$C$240=$A3))
Copy across to C3 then down to C67.
Another tip: On sheet2 get rid of the "#" in the headers of columns B and C.
Make them Restored and Not Restored.
