Try...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($A$4:$A$2002,3)="AAS"),--($B$4:$B$20020),--($D$4:$D$
2002<1))

Hope this helps!

The following formula is not working, the formula is not finding AAS:
=SUMPRODUCT($A$4:$A$2002="aas*",$B$4:$B$20020,$D$ 4:$D$2002<1)

Data:
A B C D
AASR241 1 1 1
AASR340 1 1 0
AASR444 1 1 0
CAP1201 1 1 0

the results should be 2.

Thanks in advance.
