Thanks again. I dont know if I'm making this too complicated for myself
now,
but, the actual table I have can have up to 2 different stores that could
come under the grocery banner. Not sure if its getting a bit complicated.
Any further advice would be much appreciated.

If you preferred SUMPRODUCT function then try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Tesco",G1:G6)),H1:H6)

I am trying to evalute all cells in a column with the word Tesco in.
The
problem I have is when I download the data from an external range, the
cell
that contains Tesco can have other words in it, i.e. Card Payment to
Tesco or
Tesco Store. I can see how to use SumProduct if the cell only
contained
Tesco but not with any other words. I have used the SumIF function as
follows =SUMIF($G1,"*TESCO STORE*",$H1) wherby adding the * after the "
allows for varaitions, this however has to be repeated for every row.
As an
example I have the following
G H
1 Tesco Store 5
2 Spar 15
3 Shell 1
4 Tesco 12
5 Tesco 6
6 Smiths 15
I have the following Formula =SUMPRODUCT((G1:G6="Tesco")*(H1:H6)) this
returns an answer of 18. The answer I expect is 23. As you can see it
does
not recognise Tesco when another word appears in the cell.
Thanks
