    Tricky If & Sumif combination

    Hi peeps.

    Im probably missing something really simple here but for the life of me i can't seem to crack this. I've attached a simplified version of the test file.

    data tab: contains list of countries, values and month

    I'm trying to populate the summary tab with the total sum of each country per month.

    It looks so simple, not sure why i'm struggling so much.

    @TMS, the coercion of the final range is superfluous.

    In reality one of the main reasons for coercing the Boolean arrays separately is to avoid directly coercing the summation range.
    In this manner the SUMPRODUCT acts like SUMIF in so far as non-numerics are ignored rather than causing #VALUE! errors

    On an aside... it's generally a good idea to avoid matrices of SUMPRODUCTs as they are inefficient and will lead to poor performance.

    Here, it would be best to concatenate on Data

    Though less elegant the above is something of a no-brainer in these situations as it will perform significantly better than SUMPRODUCT (calcs will be instantaneous)

    @DonkeyOte: thanks for the prompt. It gets to be a habit, based on past poor experience and realising that the coercion "helps".

    Cheers
