In this instance, none really. I was just copying OP's text. However, if you
wanted to check if a cell contained two or more words, it is nice to know you
can use wildcards.

E.g.
=SEARCH("bob*tom",A1)
would check look for the word bob followed sometime by the word tom. (also
supports the '?' character for single character wildcard.

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))
