Hi!

Try this:

=SUMIF(A3:A39,"cope &
drag*",B3:B39)/SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("cope &
drag",A3:A39)),MATCH(A3:A39&"",A3:A39&"",0)),MATCH (A3:A39&"",A3:A39&"",0))0))

Or, using a cell to hold the criteria (E42 as used in your other formula):

E42 = cope & drag

=SUMIF(A3:A39,E42&"*",B3:B39)/SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(E42,A3:A39)),MATCH(A 3:A39&"",A3:A39&"",0)),MATCH(A3:A39&"",A3:A39&"",0 ))0))

Both are array formulas.

Hi everyone,

Well I got this formula it was provided to me by Domenic and it works
great. But I would like to have a wildcard in place in the formula.

I also posted on this forum.
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthre...t=53927&page=2


=SUMIF(A3:A39,E42,B3:B39)/COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF(A3:A39=E42,ROW(A3:A39)),IF(A3:A39<E4 2,ROW(A3:A39))))


I tried to modified to this but no luck.


=SUMIF(A3:A39,"COPE &
DRAG*",B3:B39)/COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF((LEFT(A3:A39,11)="COPE &
DRAG"),ROW(A3:A39)),IF((LEFT(A3:A39,11)="COPE & DRAG"),ROW(A3:A39))))



Example, My data is structure to this

A B
COPE & DRAG ( #3 ) 0.31
COPE & DRAG ( #3 ) 0.06

COPE & DRAG ( #2 ) 1
COPE & DRAG ( #2 ) 0


COPE & DRAG ( #3 ) 0.31
COPE & DRAG ( #3 ) 0.06

COPE & DRAG ( #2 ) 1
COPE & DRAG ( #2 ) 0



The Total shoud be 1.37


Any Ideas?
