=SUMPRODUCT(--('FIRE ALARM DEVICES'!$A$8:$A$433=$A19),--(RIGHT('FIRE ALARM DEVICES'!$B$8:$B$433,2)=TEXT(C$18,"00")),--(LEFT('FIRE ALARM DEVICES'!$D$8:$D$433,2)=TEXT($B19,"00")))

Thank you for the help and the formula. I do have oen question though:

Becuase I am still new at figuring the formulas and how to manipulate them, Is this formula one formula or is it in sections?

Thanks
