I am using the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((B28:B392000)*(D28:D40="*Best*"))
and it gives me #N/A

Is there something wrong with this? I have #'s that range from 2-4000
in column B and Words that do contain "Best"

Any help? I will email file if it helps....

COUNTIF supports only one criterion. You have 2, so no, you can't use COUNTIF
here. You need SUMPRODUCT or an array formula.

That's not helping. Im getting N/A everytime. Cant I use a COUNTIF?
