After rooting around a bit and looking at some answers given by the folks here who know a lot more about using SUMPRODUCT than I do, I thought I had the correct syntax for what I'm trying to do -- but that is obviously not the case!
I have a spreadsheet with a "C" column of departments and a "G" column with dates in the format m/dd/yyyy. In the example below, I'm trying to count the number of instances where the "G" column has "1-HR" in it and the date begins with "1/" for January.
=SUMPRODUCT((DATA!C2:C500="1-HR")*(DATA!G2:G500="1/*"))
I get zeros for everything.
Am I'm missing something obvious????
thanks!
