Default Find and count (sumproduct)

Thank you! This works. If I was sure the operators would not accidentally
key more than 6 characters I would use this one. Thanks for the quick
response!

James,

Try:

=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(FIND("OP",UPPER(MID('Jan-'!H2:H65536,1,6))))*('Jan-'!C2:C65536))

HTH,

I am trying to find OP in the list of cells. It works if it is the only
words in the cell but I need it to work if there is more than just "OP".
Suggestions?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MID('Jan-'!H2:H65536,1,6)="OP"),+('Jan-'!C2:C65536))
