Default Inserting a string seach within a complex function

Thanks Biff, that seemed to do the trick!

Hi!

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Strategies!$B$3:$B$62=1),--(ISNUMBER(FIND(1,Strategies!$E$3:$E$62))))/COUNTIF(Strategies!$B$2:$B$62,1)

NB: If COUNTIF(Strategies!$B$2:$B$62,1) = 0 you'll get a #DIV/0! error.

Hi everyone, quick question:

How can I use IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH... within a SUMPRODUCT statement?

Here's the code I came up with, but it doesn't really seem to work:

=SUMPRODUCT((Strategies!$B$3:$B$62=1)*(Strategies! $E$3:$E$62=(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(1,Strategies!$E$3:$ E$62)),1,0))))/(COUNTIF(Strategies!$B$2:$B$62,1))

Any suggestions?
