In case you missed it,
here's Myrna's suggestions posted in your original thread:

".. You can shorten the formula a bit by using ISNUMBER instead of
NOT(ISNA(...)) and by moving the multiplication inside the sumproduct
formula (which eliminates the need for the --), i.e.

=SUMPRODUCT(7.75*ISNUMBER(MATCH(E8:H8,{"LA";"PD";" EA";"PDX";"MC";"V";"PR"},0
)))+
4.75*(ISNUMBER(MATCH(I8,{"LA";"PD";"EA";"PDX";"MC" ;"V";"PR"},0)))

Or, IF none of the cells E8:H8 will ever be blank,

=SUMPRODUCT(7.75*ISNUMBER(FIND(E8:H8,"LA/PD/EA/PDX/MC/V/PR")))+4.75*ISNUMBER
(FIND(I8,"LA/PD/EA/PDX/MC/V/PR"))

... "

Here is what I have as a function for cell J8, for example:

=7.75*SUMPRODUCT(--NOT(ISNA(MATCH(E8:H8,
{"LA";"PD";"EA";"PDX";"MC";"V";"PR"},0))))

But, I need to include cell I8 into the calculation, but it would be
multiplied by 4.75, instead of 7.75. What I'm doing, basically, is to
determine the occurences of 7 different text strings in cells E8:I8,
but I8 needs to be multiplied by 4.75, rather than 7.75. There may be
a simple answer, but I don't know how. Thanks.
