You can't use wildcards in the second formula. You would need to use
something like:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("London",D1:D10)))*(Z 1:Z10))

or:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("London",D1:D10))),Z1:Z10)

or, if you insist on the array formula:

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("London",D1:D10)),Z1:Z10))

entered using CSE.

Hope this helps.

Why following two formulas are not returning same result

=SUMIF(D1:D10,"<*London",Z1:Z10)

{=SUM(IF(D1:D10 < "*London",Z1:Z10,"False"))}

First Formula is returning appropriate (Correct) result and second formula
is returning Incorrect result.

No need to say I want to use second formula because I need to put one more
condition

{=SUM(IF((D1:D10 < "*London")*(E1:E10 = 0),Z1:Z10,"False"))}

Please advise.

Answer to David's question,

Does not eual to is the term XL is using in custom filter and thats why i
used that.

Basically... i want to exclude one word (which i know already) from the
cell...

Thanks for all you help guys...

Hi,

The question David asks important. *However assuming it is not, then:

=SUMIF(G8:G12,"*London",H8:H12)

Where the name&city are in column G and the amounts in H.

To make it more flexible:

=SUMIF(G8:G12,A1,H8:H12)

and in A1 enter *London

Is there any operator for "Does not equal to" *like < is for "Not Equal To"
and = is for "Equal To"

I have a coloum with Name and City together
e.g. * Mike - London, *John - Leeds, Martha - London etc etc

Now I want only Exclude London Based people to calculate total salary for
remaining

My Table looks like below

Name&City--------------- Salary
Mike - London---------------100
John - Leeds-----------------300
Martha - London-------------200
Rita - Leed-------------------100
Geeta-Manchester-----------200

Now I want to exclude London bases people and calculate (SUM) salary of
other people.

Here result should be - 600 *- Hide quoted text -
