Brent,
I set up a spreadsheet with a range of numbers entered as text. You need to
format the cells as text prior to entering the numbers. I set up another
range with numbers to add based on the criteria. The formula
(=SUMIF(D7:D29,"*40",H7:H29) works. You can test the cells in your criteria
range by using the formula =istext(cell) and if it is it will result in True.

Well, I did check the cells format in the spreadsheet
that does not work to make sure/change to numeric. That
still did not do anything. Did not check the overall
format of the sheet.

Thanks,

Brent

Could the format for the spreadsheet that works be
different - text instead
of numeric?

In the criteria section of SUMIF function I cannot get
the wildcard function to work. "32*"
It works fine for me on another computer, is there
some
setting or something that I should check for on this
computer to make it work ?
