SUMPRODUCT with nested If statement

[Moeey]

Hi everyone,
Hope you're all well.

I'm hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction with a problem I'm having with a SUMPRODUCT formula.

The formula is trying to count all the entries in "HRData" table, for the specified year and "Job Band".
If the job band selected is "All Employees" then count all the entries for the specified year.
If the job band selected is not "All Employees" then only count the selected "Job Band" for the specified year.
The formula only seems to work for "All Employees".
There are no "errors" for the formula.

I think the problem lies with the "else" part of the IF statement.
From what I can gather, the "else" part of the IF statement, is only reading one row of the table.

Here's the formula,
=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(HRData[Start Date])=$A$8)*(IF($B$8="All Employees",TRUE(),HRData[Job Band]=$B$8)))

This is what my "HRData" table looks like.
There are 10,000 entries in the table.

I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for looking.

Mo

The formula from your initial post works fine for me.

Try this.

=IF($B$8="All Employees",  SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(HRData[Start Date])=$A$8)), SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(HRData[Start Date])=$A$8),--(HRData[Job Band]=$B$8)))

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
Your formula works great.
Do you know why my formula does not work?

I would like to use the structure of my formula because I have other criterias I need to add to the formula.
Using your formula means that I would have to duplicate the other criterias which would make a very long formula.

The original formula you posted works for me, I posted my formula before testing yours.

The formula I suggested was just to check that your job band values didn't have any leading/trailing spaces or other hidden hidden characters.
As we have both said, there is nothing wrong with your formula & it works for both of us.
What makes you think it doesn't work?

That's bizarre
I wonder if there's something about the way my Excel is set up.
Many thanks to you and Fluff for the quick response.

When I cross check the results from the formula with the results from the table, they don't match.

Could you post some sample data?

 

[Fluff]

How are you cross checking the result?

Sorry for sounding stupid.
How do I post sample data?

How are you cross checking the result?

I'm using the filter options on the table and seeing the "records found" results displayed at the bottom of the Excel screen.
