I have a column B of names that is part of my sumproduct formula...there are
some cells in this column that contain #N/A. I have to be able to complete
the sumproduct formula by ignoring these errors... Is there something I can
add to the sumproduct formula to ignore these errors in column B?

Thanks again!

Maybe something like this:

=SUM(IF($A$21:$A$36=11,IF(NOT(ISNA($B$21:$B$36)),$B21:B36,0)))
which is an array formula (enter using cntl-shift-enter instead of just enter)

Let me give you my formula:
=sumproduct(B2:B400)*(A2:A400=F1)

With the above....when it finds an #N/A in Column A...it returns #N/A. I
need to add something to that section to ignore any #N/A.

Thanks again.

You don't need SUMPRODUCT

=SUMIF(A2:A400,F1,B2:B400)

Sorry for the confusion....the referenced formula is a stripped down version.
I do have other criteria in the formula. I was trying to show just the part
that is giving me errors. Bottom line is that I am trying to find something
that I can add to my sumproduct formula that ignores #N/A.
Thanks again!

Then use the same technique I showed you earlier

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2:A400,F1,0))),B2:B400)

Applying my formula to your range (and borrowing from Bob's answer,) I came
up with:

=SUM(IF(A2:A400=F1,IF(NOT(ISNA(B2:B400)),B2:B400,0)))
which again is an array entered formula (ctrl-shift-enter)
