Sorry

Totally misread the question. I though you wanted to sum where the values in
column I contained "A7" plus following characters or numbers.
You have correct format from others.

All,

I'm trying to do a sumif. For the criteria I want to sum anything that
begins with a value in cell A7. So my formula looks like
=sumif('Worksheet2,!$I$3:$I$586,A7*,'Worksheet2,!J 7:J590)
the value in cell A7 is 4040 SL

I've tried all sorts of variations for the A7* but it returns 0. If I
type in "4040 SL*" for the criteria it comes up with a pretty close
number but not the exact number.
Any ideas?
