Importing SUMPRODUCT formula from XL into Numbers

Question

Hello all,
I am having some challenges converting a SUMPRODUCT function from Excel/LibreOffice.  After browsing the support postings, it seemed as if rewriting the formula as a COUNTIF(S) or SUMIF(S) function could get the job done, but I haven't met with success going those routes.
The file I'm working with is difficult for me to explain, so I have posted a small example here:
https://www.iwork.com/document/?d=Reso_book.numbers&a=p205658906
The basic application of the file is a reservation book; the formulas in question are in cells D5-L13 on the Availability sheet.  They are still in their original, non-Numbers syntax.
The Availability sheet would effectively look up a table number from the Reservation sheet and return "1" if booked, "0" if not, or "-1" if doubled.
In the posted file, D5-G5 would return 1, while H5-L5 would return 0.
If anyone would be willing to take a look, I'd greatly appreciate any advice or insight for how to rework these formulas.

I never use excel but something seems to be wrong in your original formula.
=1-SUMPRODUCT((Reservation::Table 1::$D$2:$D$10<=D$4)*(Reservation::Table 1::$E$2:$E$10>=D$4)*(Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10=$B5))
Given what I read in several pages found thru Google, the last component of your formula :
(Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10=$B5)
must not be a condition
In fact, the embedded condition appears as dropped by the formula parser.
When I reproduced you document in LibreOffice, removing the component =$B5 in the last component changes nothing.
So I built the Numbers document without it (Table YK).
In the edited table, the formula in D5 is :
=1-SUMIFS((Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10),Reservation::Table 1::$D$2:$D$10,"<="&D$4,Reservation::Table 1::$E$2:$E$10,">="&D$4)
Apply FillDown then Fill_to_right.
I'm not sure that it's what you need but it return the same values than the originla ones in LibreOffice.
