For CE in P4...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TRIM(REPLACE($A$4:$D$4,1,SEARCH(" ",$A$4:$D$4&"
"),""))="CE"),--LEFT(A4:D4,SEARCH(" ",$A$4:$D$4&" ")))

I want to have a formula that I can put into cell P4, Q4, and R4 that will
sum the range "A4:D4" that contain the text "CE", "LS", and "LA". I have
tried variations of sum, sumif, and sumproduct, that also included
substitute, none seem to give me the answer. They either give me an error or
"0".
A4 = 1 CE
B4 = 1.5 LS
C4 = 1 LA
D4 = 2.25 CE
Please help!
