As with the SUMIF question asked a few minutes ago try:


=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(F1:F10,13)="Total Revenue")*(G1:G10))

i want to do a conditonal sumif only searching on the first 13 characters
of
the items in the list. ie. "Total Revenue" of what might be "Total
Revenue - All SE Accounts"

How can I use a variable instead of a fixed value to search on?

Any ideas on how I might be able to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Joe
