Ron,

This works fine, too!

Thank you very much. :-)

Try something like this:

With D1 containing the ProdCode segment to find (eg 1A)

This formula returns the sum of sales for ProdCodes containing that code:
E1: =SUMIF(A1:A100,"*"&D1&"*",B1:B100)

Is that something you can work with?

Good afternoon,
Is there any way in which SumProduct can be used with a "contains"
criteria
- for instance, A1:100 contains product codes (for example) AZ1A1100,
ABCZ1A1200, 1A1300 and B1:B100 contains total sales for these products. I
want to extract values from column B for (for example) all products that
CONTAIN the string "1A".
I realise that I could use LEFT, RIGHT or MID as long as the "1A" appears
in
the same place in the string, but I want something to cater for the times
when it doesn't.
Thanks in advance
Pete
