SUMPRODUCT help

Hi All
I have a problem with a SUMPRODUCT formula:

Attached is a workbook showing example data and I thought the following would work
Dates and Venues are named ranges

Code:

---

=SUMPRODUCT((Dates="21/03/2009")*(Venues="Stockport"))

---

Try

Code:

---

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Dates=--"2009-03-21"),--(Venues="Stockport"))

---

Thanks XLD
Too many '-----' for me to have worked out !

You could also have used

Code:

---

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Dates=Date(2009,03,21)),--(Venues="Stockport"))

---

or even

Code:

---

=SUMPRODUCT((Dates=Date(2009,03,21))*(Venues="Stockport"))
