I am getting the following error when trying to convert a 2007 worksheet to a 97-2003 format, "specified fmula cannot be entered because it contains me values". I have 19 different values in an IF formula, what can I do to adjust the formula to work?

How do I shorten an IF formula?
How do I shorten this formula. It is missing information from the missing
rows, but if I put those in, it tells me "The specified formula cannot be
entered because it contains more values, references and/or names than are
allowed in the current file format."

Here is the formula...
=IF($F70,IF($G7=0,J7),0)+IF($F80,IF($G8=0,J8),0 )+IF($F90,IF($G9=0,J9),0)+IF($F100,IF($G10=0,J10 ),0)+IF($F110,IF($G11=0,J11),0)+IF($F120,IF($G12 =0,J12),0)+IF($F130,IF($G13=0,J13),0)+IF($F140,I F($G$14=0,J14),0)+IF($F$150,IF($G$15=0,J15),0)+IF ($F$160,IF($G$16=0,J16),0)+IF($F$170,IF($G$17=0, J17),0)+IF($F$180,IF($G$18=0,J18),0)+IF($F$190,I F($G19=0,J19),0)+IF($F200,IF($G20=0,J20),0)+IF($F 210,IF($G21=0,J21),0)+IF($F220,IF($G22=0,J22),0) +IF($F230,IF($G23=0,J23),0)+IF($F240,IF($G24=0,J 24),0)+IF($F250,IF($G25=0,J25),0)+IF($F260,IF($G 26=0,J26),0)+IF($F270,IF($G27=0,J27),0)+IF($F$33 0,IF($G$33=0,J33),0)+IF($F$370,IF($G$37=0,J37),0) +IF($F$380,IF($G$38=0,J38),0)+IF($F$390,IF($G$39 =0,J39),0)+IF($F$400,IF($G$40=0,J40),0)+IF($F$41 0,IF($G$41=0,J41),0)+IF($F$420,IF($G$42=0,J42),0) +IF($F$430,IF($G$43=0,J43),0)+IF($F$440,IF($G$44 =0,J44),0)

Can anyone help me out, I hope?! Please?! Thank you!

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(F7:F440),--(G7:G44=0),J7:J44)

Note that if cells in the range G7:G44 are empty they will evaluate as being
equal to 0.

To account for that if needed:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(F7:F440),--(G7:G44""),--(G7:G44=0),J7:J44)

Can you help me make sense of this one?

Thanks again!

Ok, I copied the original formula, but I didn't change anything and it didn't
work for me. (I don't do these kinds of formulas every day
obviously...actually I'm helping a collegue out). The extent of my formulas
are COUNTA & SUM.
This formula DID work!
Thank you again! You've been MOST helpful!! We both appreciate your help!
