Even shorter:

Assuming DREGION and MISDUE are vertical arrays...

A1:C1 = FREIGHT; TRANSPORT; HQ BLNG

Shorter version:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"HQ

Hi
Can anyone help me on this. thanks in advance.
I am getting answer required by the following formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(DREGION="HQ BLNG EAST")+(DREGION="HQ BLNG
WEST")+(DREGION="HQ
BLNG NORTH")+(DREGION="HQ BLNG SOUTH"),MISDUE)
Where the first part is constant "HQ BLNG".
Is there any way to search the string in range DREGION and find the
sum.
Like "HQ BLNG xxxx", "xxxx TRANSPORT xxxx", "xxxxx xxxxx FREIGHT"
xxxx i mean to say that it could be any string.

Thank you


Dear Bob - I get the Value error again.
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"HQ
BLNG","TRANSPORT","FREIGHT"},DREGION)))*DUESMIS)
Can you please try with an example.

Dear Valco,
(dregion & duesmis are same size parralel vertical single arrays)
Thanks for the try, the range option is still good. But I get Value error
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH(P25:P28,DREGION)))*DU ESMIS)
- where p25:p28 (are HQ BLNG, TRANSPORT, FREIGHT, WAREHOUSING)
Can you please try with an example.

I am applying this formula over 30,000 rows, of 42mb file, is no.of rows the
problem ?
please advise.
