    Sum data ignoring text using the sumproduct with logic

    Can someone please show me how to use the sumproduct with logic using logic such as (--(logic test))?

    The attached has a simple example. I thought using the * would return an error if it detects text, and using the comma would ignore the text.

    Thank you.

    I think, in this case, you have to use the asterisk (*) to multiply the matrices because they are different sizes.

    On the other hand, if the matrices are the same size, you can choose either approach.

    C14:C23=103 produces an array of TRUE or FALSE values. The double negative coerces these TRUE or FALSE values into 1 or 0 respectively. The matrix of 1 and 0 values is then multiplied by the matrix of values in F14:F23 and the results summed.

    This will ignore text:

    It's an array formula, it has to be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

    Well explained Trevor!
