Default Sumproduct Wildcards

You could try using this function, since the SEARCH function supports
wildcards.

=SUMPRODUCT(($F$3:$F$43)*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Helm*" ,$A$3:$A$43)))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Port*",$B$3:$B$43 )))

Note that SEARCH is non-case sensitive. If you want it to be, replace the
SEARCH's with FIND's.



What is the difference between

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Helm",$A$3:$A$43))

and

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Helm*",$A$3:$A$43))
