How to get data from by looking up criteria in multiple sheets

[amjad831001]

Hi,
Can someone help me on this, trying to sumproduct across multiple sheets using iferror function, but it didn't work.

=IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT(('Welded Asly'!A10:$A$500=F2)*('Welded Asly'!C10:$C$500=D2)*'Welded Asly'!D10:$D$500),SUMPRODUCT((Components!A15:$A$500=F2)*(Components!C15:$C$500=D2)*Components!D15:$D$500))

Regards

That title is no better, please use a title that describes what you are trying to do without using words like IFERROR, SUMPRODUCT, or any other excel function / formula names.

There is nothing in your formula that should cause an error so you need to rethink the whole question (that does not mean start another thread!)

My bad for the title not being upto mark , tried to change title again.
But, i think you got what i'm trying to achieve from the attached sample sheet.
However it is not working for me, think there must be some changes that needs to be made in the formula, please help.

The title is now fine.

No, I do not get what you are trying to do at all.

Please explain in WORDS what you are attempting to do. Be explicit.

IFERROR is used to detect errors, #VALUE! #N/A #REF! #NUM! #NAME? #DIV0! or #NULL!

Anything else, such as sumproduct returning 0 when you expect something else is not an error, it is an incorrect result.

You can do it with iferror, but you need to trick excel into thinking that 0 is an actual error first, division by 0 is the easiest way as it forces a #DIV/0! error whenever sumproduct returns 0
