    IF SUMPRODUCT and handling different data types

    I have a scenario where I'm trying to consolidate survey responses from individual monthly spreadsheets to quarters. I also have the number of responses for each month in a separate spreadsheet.

    I'm using a SUMPRODUCT(VLOOKUP function to pull through the total responses for the quarter but need some help combining this with an IF function to return "No data" if the values are less than 6 as the sample would be too small.

    Following that, I'm trying to calculate the response rate of people 'Extremely likely to recommend', 'Likely to recommend', 'Neither', 'Unlikely' and 'Extremely unlikely' by summing the total number of responses in each category by the number for that quarter. With this one I'm running into either '0' being displayed when there are text characters in the original data or '#DIV/0!' if the value is 0. I would like this to be either "No match" if the data is blank or is "'*", or to be '0' if the there are no responses. I cannot amend the original data for transparency.

    Any help would really be appreciated, thanks.

    Re: IF SUMPRODUCT and handling different data types

    I advice you not to use *, since they are jokersigns in excel.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Re: IF SUMPRODUCT and handling different data types

    IFERROR(formula,"")
    will prevent the #DIV/0 errors

    otherwise try
    IF(OR(A1="*",A1=""),"No match",IF(A1=0,0,formula)

    I cant see any SUMPRODUCTs in your file

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    You could use something like this in F2 copied down and the other similar columns. This will return 0 instead of the error values that you currently have in the Orange columns.

    There are no SUMPRODUCT formulae in the workbook so I have no real idea of what you are referring to or where these SUMPRODUCT formulae are for the first part of your problem.

    Assuming that N2 ,R2 ,V2 were actually supposed to display and asterisk, this array formula* will display the results on your 'After' sheet: 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    To activate:
    1) Paste the formula into F2,
    2) Press the F2 (function 2) key,
    3) Simultaneously press Ctrl, Shift and Enter
    4) Press Ctrl C to copy the formula in F2 then paste in J2, N2, R2, V2,
    5) Double click the fill handle of each of those cells to send the formula down the column.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Re: IF SUMPRODUCT and handling different data types

    Hi all thank you for your responses thus far. JeteMc, your formula is great and works in all instances except where the cells are blank for the quarter as a '0%' is returned as the answer. Could this formula be expanded to also capture "No data" if the cell ranges are blank? Any help on this would be appreciated.

    I longer need any help with the SUMPRODUCT(VLOOKUP any more, thanks to all who have responded to this as well.

    I am assuming that "for the quarter" means the cells in column B. Working on that assumption modify the array entered formula* to read:
